The president made this announcement following a Security Council meeting after the attacks on military and civilian sites in Caracas and the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The president also stated that all available assistance resources are being deployed in case of a mass influx of refugees, while the Colombian embassy in Venezuela is actively responding to calls for assistance from Colombian citizens.
He emphasized that, as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, Colombia is seeking to convene that body.
For his part, Defense Minister Pedro Sanchez explained that the Unified Command Post (PMU) for humanitarian assistance has been activated in Cucuta, on the border with the neighboring country, along with the border plan, in order to assist the migrant population and provide all necessary support to those who require it.
