LIMA, Aug 29 (Reuters) - The presidents of the nations making up the Andean Community - Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia - said on Monday they would like Venezuela, Chile and Argentina to join the group as much of South America shifts left.

"If we manage to integrate Chile, Venezuela and Argentina...I think this would significantly change things and our voice would be heard much more clearly on the world stage," Colombian President Gustavo Petro said.

The presidents were in Lima on Monday for a meeting as Ecuador passes on the bloc's presidency to Peru.
