Foreign Policy

Colombia's foreign policy has traditionally aligned closely with the United States, particularly on counter-narcotics (Plan Colombia) and security cooperation. However, it has diversified under recent administrations, engaging more with Latin American integration through CELAC and pursuing 'Total Peace' negotiations with remaining armed groups.

Colombia is a key voice on migration governance (as the largest host of Venezuelan displaced persons), peacebuilding (drawing on its own peace process), biodiversity (it hosted COP16 of the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2024), and drug policy reform.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Colombia, your peace process is your most powerful diplomatic credential. Use it to lead on peacebuilding, transitional justice, and reconciliation. The Nobel Peace Prize for the FARC accord gives you unmatched credibility on these issues.

Your hosting of millions of Venezuelan migrants makes you a leading voice on migration and humanitarian burden-sharing. Demand international support and use this to build solidarity with other refugee-hosting states.

Coordinate with Pacific Alliance partners (Mexico, Chile, Peru) on trade and with regional neighbours on the Venezuela crisis. Colombia's OECD membership and US alliance give you Western credibility, while your biodiversity and peace credentials resonate with the Global South. Use this dual positioning strategically.
