General Information

Colombia stands out as one of the most integrated countries in international trade in Latin America, thanks to a significant policy of commercial openness and integration with international organisations.

The country has signed several free trade agreements, especially at the regional level and with the United States, Canada and the EU (in force since 2014). Colombia and France have signed two agreements, for the promotion and protection of investments, thus avoiding double taxation.

Colombians appreciate physical contact (be prepared to shake hands). Meetings are often prolonged by discussions on topics such as sport and family.
