The Colombian government rejected a recent report claiming that Foreign Minister Rosa Villavicencio said the administration would back a plan where Venezuelan authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro would hand over power to a transitional government.
"The information that has circulated in the past hours does not correspond to what was expressed by Foreign Minister Villavicencio, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement reported by local outlet Semana. It went on to say it respects international law and non-interference in foreign affairs and the sovereignty of other countries.
