Caracas, SANA -Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro celebrated the reopening of the border with Colombia, highlighting that it is a huge step to restore the relations of brotherhood and cooperation between the two nations.

The Executive emphasized that he knew that this day would come “sooner rather than later” within the framework of the reestablishment of relations between Colombia and Venezuela.
“In the darkest moments, when they tried to invade Venezuela through those bridges to bring war, violence, and terrorism to our country, I knew that sooner rather than later, this day would come. And with faith in God, I asked for it and this day arrived today, Monday, September 26. I thank President Gustavo Petro of Colombia,” said the president.
