哥伦比亚与委内瑞拉11月12日同意协调边境安全：2219公里边境两起绑架待解救，哥方寻回市长妻子与一名军官
哥伦比亚波哥大消息，路透社 11 月 12 日报道，哥伦比亚与委内瑞拉两国政府当天表示，愿意协调安全行动、打击跨国犯罪。此前两国 2219公里长的共同边境一带接连发生两起受到高度关注的绑架事件。
哥伦比亚正寻求委内瑞拉协助，定位一名市长妻子与一名军官的下落。哥伦比亚外交部表示，已经与委内瑞拉政府沟通，协调解救乌里比亚市市长妻子南希·戈麦斯。乌里比亚位于哥伦比亚最北部的拉瓜希拉省，距委内瑞拉边境约30 公里。哥方认为戈麦斯于 11 月 11 日被绑架，并被带入委内瑞拉境内以逃避哥方执法。
哥伦比亚总统德拉埃斯普列拉已经向当地部署军队协助搜寻戈麦斯，并称民族解放军武装组织被认为与这起绑架有关。另一起事件中，一名哥伦比亚军官 11月 4 日在边境 Arauca 州的萨拉韦纳镇被民族解放军绑架，哥伦比亚当局已经公布此事。
委内瑞拉外交部在早前一份声明中表示，委方完全愿意与哥伦比亚当局就安全事项开展一切必要协调。哥伦比亚国防部长莫拉 11 月 11日表示，哥方已经请美国与委内瑞拉合作、帮助寻找被绑架的军官，并表示希望随着委内瑞拉局势过渡出现合作。路透社报道指出，武装组织历史上长期在边境一带活动，当地毒品贩运与走私常见；哥伦比亚此前曾指控委内瑞拉窝藏相关武装人员，加拉加斯方面多次否认。
Colombia and Venezuela Agree on November 12 to Coordinate Border Security: Two Kidnappings Along the 2,219 Kilometre Border, Bogota Seeks a Mayor's Wife and an Army Officer 英文全文： BOGOTA, Colombia — Reuters reported on November 12 that the governments of Colombia and Venezuela said they are willing to coordinate security efforts to combat transnational crime, following two recent high-profile kidnappings along their 2,219-kilometre shared border.
BOGOTA, Colombia — Reuters reported on November 12 that the governments of Colombia and Venezuela said they are willing to coordinate security efforts to combat transnational crime, following two recent high-profile kidnappings along their 2,219-kilometre shared border.
Colombia is seeking Venezuelan help locating the wife of a Colombian mayor and an army officer. Colombia's foreign ministry said it had spoken with Venezuela's government to coordinate efforts to rescue Nancy Gomez, the wife of the mayor of the city of Uribia, in the northern-most department of La Guajira, some 30 kilometres from the Venezuelan border. Colombian authorities believe she was kidnapped on November 11 and taken into Venezuela in an attempt to evade Colombian law enforcement.
Colombian President Abelardo De La Espriella deployed military troops to the area to aid with the search for Gomez, and said the ELN armed group was believed to be behind her kidnapping. In the second case, a Colombian army officer was kidnapped by the ELN armed group on November 4 in the town of Saravena, in the border state of Arauca, Colombian authorities said.
Venezuela's government said it is fully willing to carry out all necessary coordination with Colombian authorities on security matters, the Venezuelan foreign ministry said in an earlier statement.Colombian Defense Minister Jorge Eduardo Mora said on November 11 that Colombia had asked the United States to work with Venezuela to help find the kidnapped officer, and said he hoped the transition in Venezuela would bring cooperation. Reuters noted that armed groups have historically operated along the border, where drug trafficking and smuggling are common, and that Colombia previously accused Venezuela of harbouring FARC and ELN rebels, charges Caracas has repeatedly denied.
