History

In 1947, during a United Nations session, General Assembly Resolution 181 recommended the partition 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 improved tremendously in 1988 when major trade agreements were signed between Israel and Colombia.

Technological cooperation

Colombia has purchased planes, drones, weapons and intelligence systems from Israel.[3]
