Gustavo Petro and Nicolás Maduro meet for the sixth time. The friction over the disqualification of María Corina Machado is over.

The two presidents need each other, writes Juan Carlos Varela. The rapprochement between Colombia and Venezuela was frozen a few weeks ago, he says. The latest friction between the presidents over the elections in Venezuela has left the economic issue buried on the bilateral agenda, says Varella.. Colombia's voice has not been the only warning voice in the. international community, nor the only one among the countries with which Venezuela maintains. good relations.
