CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuela said Sunday that it is reopening its embassy in Colombia and will allow back Colombian diplomats it expelled last week.
The two countries have been easing tensions created by Colombia's March 1 attack on leftist rebels across the border in Ecuador.
Venezuela "has decided to re-establish the normal functioning of its diplomatic relations with the government of the Republic of Colombia," the government said in a statement. "The Venezuelan government will proceed to send diplomatic personnel immediately to Bogota."
