美国国务卿约翰·克里目前正在哥伦比亚会晤有关官员,会谈议题预计包括贸易、打击贩毒和安全等问题。
克里星期日晚间抵达波哥大,这是他今年早些时候出任国务卿以来首次访问南美。
目前,哥伦比亚政府继续与反政府武装“哥伦比亚革命武装力量”举行和谈,争取结束历时50年的冲突。这是目前拉美持续时间最长的冲突。
美国驻哥伦比亚大使迈克尔·麦金利星期日说,美国既支持哥伦比亚当前的和平进程,也支持冲突后的过渡进程。
哥伦比亚是美国在该地区关系最密切的盟国之一,不过,哥伦比亚官员对前美国国安局合同工爱德华·斯诺登泄露的消息表示了关注。斯诺登爆料说,美国的秘密监听项目在整个地区搜集电话与互联网数据。
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is in Colombia for meetings with officials that are expected to include discussion of trade, drug trafficking and security.
Kerry arrived in Bogota late Sunday on his first trip to South America since becoming secretary of state earlier this year.
The visit comes as the Colombian government continues peace talks with FARC rebels in a bid to end five decades of conflict, in what remains the longest-running insurgency in Latin America.
U.S. Ambassador to Colombia Michael McKinley said Sunday the United States supports both the peace process and Colombia's post-conflict transition process.
Colombia is one of the closest U.S. allies in the region, but officials have expressed concern about reports leaked by a former NSA contractor detailing secret U.S. surveillance programs that gathered phone and Internet data from across the region.
