Israel and Colombia have decided to mutually waive visa requirements for visitors, the Foreign Ministry announced Thursday.
The decision will take effect on September 1.
According to the Foreign Ministry, the decision followed talks between Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Colombian Foreign Minister Omar Beltrán Escobar. Under the agreement, citizens of both countries will be exempt from visa requirements.
The decision to lift the visa requirement comes amid a rapid warming of relations between Israel and Colombia following the latter's change of government.
Diplomatic relations were severed under President Gustavo Petro, but newly-elected President Abelardo de la Espriella has worked to restore them since taking office.
Last month, Foreign Minister Sa'ar met his Colombian counterpart in Washington, where the two formulated a roadmap for the full restoration of diplomatic and economic relations and the return of ambassadors.
Colombia's new government has also announced its intention to open an embassy in Jerusalem. In addition, days after de la Espriella took office, Colombia announced its recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
