Colombia's President Gustavo Petro travels to Venezuela to hold talks with his counterpart Nicolas Maduro, their second face-to-face after years-long diplomatic freeze
Colombia's Gustavo Petro is received by Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro at presidential palace for a meeting whose purpose Bogota describes as"continuing to work for a shared agenda" between the South American neighbours.
Petro's trip on Saturday came just days after the final reopening of the South American neighbours' shared border, closed in a spat over Maduro's disputed 2018 reelection. It is the leaders' second meeting since Petro took power from Ivan Duque last August and the official resumption of diplomatic ties a month later.
