The leaders of Colombia and Venezuela met Tuesday for the first time in six years, weeks after both countries restored diplomatic relations and reopened their long-closed border
BOGOTÁ, Colombia—The leaders of Colombia and Venezuela met Tuesday for the first time in six years, the latest sign of how new leftist governments in Latin America are breaking from a U.S.-led campaign that unsuccessfully sought to oust Venezuela’s authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro, a former guerrilla who once held close ties to Venezuela’s ruling Socialist Party, traveled to Caracas to have lunch with Mr. Maduro and discuss bilateral trade and the bolster of regional environmental-protection efforts. Mr. Petro said he also called on Mr. Maduro to commit to promoting democracy in the region and ending political persecution.
