President Gustavo Petro has a presidential plane for the dignified return of nationals and will lead efforts in the Extraordinary Assembly of CELAC.
Bogotá, 26 January 2025.
The Government of Colombia confirms its participation in the Extraordinary Assembly of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), convened for 30 January. This meeting will be an opportunity to address strategic issues for the region, such as cooperation on migration, the protection of human rights, and the strengthening of relations between member countries.
In preparation for this summit, talks have been held with Honduras, the country holding the presidency of CELAC, in order to promote a regional approach to migratory challenges and ensure conditions of dignity for the citizens of the region.
In parallel, the Colombian Government, under the direction of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the nationals who were going to arrive in the country today in the morning, from deportation flights.
This measure responds to the government's commitment to ensuring decent conditions. In no way have Colombians, as patriots and subjects of rights, been and will be banished from Colombian territory.
In addition, the government has convened a Unified Command Post (PMU) on migration, in which representatives of the Ombudsman's Office, the Chancellery, and the Presidency of the Republic will participate. This space aims to establish and review protocols that ensure the dignified treatment of deported Colombians, ensuring that procedures respect human rights and the integrity of each person.
