John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington,
DC
June 15, 2014
We congratulate President Santos
on his victory, as well as the Colombian people and
electoral officials on a peaceful and orderly election. We
look forward to continuing to work with President Santos and
his administration to advance our bilateral relationship and
to continuing to support the Colombian Government and people
as they pursue a negotiated end to the conflict there.
The United States and Colombia share a long history of successful partnership, anchored by a commitment to democracy and the rule of law, peace and citizen security, and trade and economic opportunity. My recent visit underlined our long-standing cooperation and commitment to Colombia. The Colombian people will continue to thrive with the next administration.
