Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 January 2026

Debate

Venezuela

Contribution

I can assure my hon. Friend that we continue to support and uphold the 2016 peace accord. We are the penholder, as he says, so we work closely with the Colombian Government on that, and on how to deal with a range of threats to their stability. I recognise that the Maduro regime contributed to instability in Colombia as a result of migration and criminal operations. We will continue to work with the Colombian Government.
