Colombia rules out prompt opening of Venezuela border on COVID concerns


Colombian President Ivan Duque on Thursday ruled out a prompt reopening of his country's border with Venezuela, citing a high-level of COVID-19 infections. The 2,219km (1,380-mile) land and water border between the two neighbors - who do not maintain diplomatic relations - has been closed since last year. A new reopening date of June 1 was set by Bogota earlier this year. 'I know all the urgency there is for the issue of opening the border,' Duque said during a visit to the border province of Norte de Santander. But Colombia had to be 'especially cautious' given the uncertainty over the COVID-19 situation in Venezuela, he said.
