From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colombia-Israel relations are the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Colombia and the State of Israel which were officially established in the mid-1950s.
[edit] History
In 1947, during a United Nations session, General Assembly Resolution 181 recommended the partitition of British Mandate Palestine into one Jewish and one Arab state. Colombia abstained.[1]
In the mid 1950s both countries officially established diplomatic relations and set up embassies in Bogotá and Tel Aviv respectively.[2]
Relations with Israel started off poorly but have improved over the years. Colombia was one of the countries that did not vote for partition in 1947. When Israel was established in 1948, Colombia did not recognize the State of Israel. It was not until the 1960s that Colombia and Israel opened embassies. Relations improved tremendously in 1988 when major trade agreements were signed between Israel and Colombia.
