Colombia's president-elect, Abelardo de la Espriella, has announced the closure of 14 embassies and 15 consulates, including those in Hungary, Czech Republic, and Romania, as part of a diplomatic reform. He aims to sever ties with Cuba and Nicaragua and redirect resources towards national priorities like security and education. De la Espriella's inauguration will take place in Cali, marking a departure from tradition, amid ongoing security concerns in the country.
