The governments of Venezuela and Colombia signed an agreement on October 3 to strengthen cooperation in border matters, specifically in aspects such as security, economy and environment between San Cristóbal and Cúcuta.

The challenges in these issues led to the signing of said agreement, aimed at deepening bilateral relations, “consolidating an integration zone that will benefit more than two million inhabitants.”

The governor of the state of Táchira, Freddy Bernal, whose capital is San Cristóbal, highlighted the creation of a “Great Binational Economic Border Zone that has the support of the Venezuelan Government” and that aims to “overcome difficulties and promote tourism, mobility and security.”

Jorge Enrique Acevedo, mayor of Cúcuta, highlighted the “economic interdependence between both cities, emphasizing the need to protect the region from possible national political tensions between Caracas and Bogotá.”

In an interview with a local media outlet, the Colombian ambassador to Venezuela, Milton Rengifo, said that the border cities will also work to overcome common problems.

Rengifo mentioned the issue of the impact of Cúcuta’s wastewater that affects Venezuela, emphasizing the need for a treatment plant. He also mentioned “the crisis caused by the landfill in San Cristóbal, which has repercussions on air quality in Cúcuta. The improvement of mobility is also part of the agreement, with initiatives such as the temporary circulation permit for vehicles from both countries.”

Representatives from San Cristóbal and Cúcuta hope that with the signing of the agreement, “economic, tourism and security cooperation will be achieved, providing a solid framework for integration in the border region.”
