About This Event
In 2018, Ambassador Francisco Santos spoke at the Council to discuss a new chapter in Colombia’s history — the Latin American country had recently forged a historic peace agreement, was experiencing rapid economic growth, and had made significant gains in its security situation. Two years later, Colombia and the rest of the world are managing a pandemic that has brought unprecedented change, especially to global supply chains. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected trade and investment in Colombia? What plans does the Colombian government have to boost economic dynamism?
