BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia reopened on Wednesday its land and water borders with all of its immediate neighbors - with the exception of Venezuela - the ministry of foreign affairs said, as the government tries to boost economic recovery in border regions.
Colombia s government first closed its borders in March last year in an attempt to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. While sea borders were initially reopened late last year, land and river crossings remained closed.
The country s sea, land, and river crossings with Panama, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil were opened from zero hour on May 19, 2021 , the ministry said in a statement.
