“He (Duque. - RT ) is committed to ensuring that there are no relations between the countries,” said Maduro.

Earlier, Maduro announced his readiness to restore relations with Colombia at the consulate level.

Colombia recalled four consuls from Venezuela in February 2019. This happened after Maduro announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Bogotá and gave employees of the Colombian Embassy in Caracas 24 hours to leave Venezuela.
