During the Council of Ministers, President Gustavo Petro laid out the foundations of what he called a new foreign policy for Colombia, marking a break with historical alliances, criticizing traditional diplomacy, and ordering drastic changes in the diplomatic and intelligence corps.

The president emphasized a geopolitical reorientation toward Latin America, the Caribbean, and greater cooperation with Asia and Africa: “There’s another international policy to pursue here, Madam Foreign Minister. Not only on the military front, but also on the diplomatic front.”

One of his most forceful announcements was his decision to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), criticizing the militaristic logic that, he said, has supported crimes against humanity.
