Since then, those boats had remained in the custody of the FANB since the Colombian government did not want to claim them during the administration of Ivan Duque.
The defense ministers of Colombia and Venezuela also agreed to recognize the security achievements that the “Bolivarian Shield” has been consolidating for several years.
Through this operation, the FANB have strengthened their presence in border areas where Colombian armed groups linked to drug trafficking often carry out temporary incursions.
