“Colombia has convened a UN Security Council meeting for Monday. Requests have also been submitted for an emergency meeting of the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), which is chaired by Colombia, as well as a meeting of the foreign ministers of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC),” the statement said.
