The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela co-sponsored and voted in favor of resolution 2307 (2016), on the establishment and operation of the United Nations political mission in the Republic of Colombia, which complements resolution 2261 (2016).

In January, at a ministerial-level Security Council meeting (S/PV.7609) held under the Uruguayan presidency, we adopted resolution 2261 (2016), which created a monitoring mission in Colombia designed to begin its work during the 12 months following the signing of a final peace agreement between the Colombian Government and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). Six months after t…
