Colombian Foreign Affairs minister Carolina Barco Thursday said in Caracas that in the next few days a Venezuelan delegation is to visit Colombia to agree on the five rules that are to govern bilateral trade during a five-year grace period granted following Venezuela withdrawal from the Andean Community of Nations (CAN).

"Regarding trade issues, we decided that a Venezuelan delegation will go to Colombia to find ways to move on, provided that Venezuela complies with the terms set in the Cartagena Agreement, under which both duties and favorable terms continue into effect for a five-year period."

She added that there is a legal framework Colombia and Venezuela plan to adjust to during the upcoming visit of the Venezuelan Commerce Ministry representatives to Colombia.
