A top Colombian official said the government disagrees with the vow made by Panama's president-elect to shut down the Darien Gap, located in the border between the countries and a key migration route for people seeking to make their way to North America.
Speaking to AFP, Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo addressed the statements made by José Raúl Mulino. "It is a conversation we must continue, but Colombia obviously wouldn't agree with shutting down the border, and even less so with shutting down the Darien Gap," he said.
