Bogotá, Aug 23 (EFE).- Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez arrived in Bogotá on Tuesday for the first stage of his Latin American tour and is expected to convey to new Colombia leader Gustavo Petro his full support for the president’s leftist policies and attempts to achieve definitive peace in the country.
Sánchez landed at 8 pm (01:00 GMT Wednesday) at El Dorado airport in Bogotá, where Colombian Foreign Minister Álvaro Leyva was waiting to welcome him.
The official agenda on Wednesday will begin with Sánchez’s participation in a business forum before meeting with Petro at the Casa de Nariño, seat of the Colombian presidency.
Sánchez publicly congratulated both Petro and his running mate, Afro-Colombian social leader Francia Márquez, after their victory in the June 19 runoff, but will now do so in person, and they will address issues of common interest.
