After a week of rising tensions between Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Yesterday Venezuela announced that it was reestablishing diplomatic relations with Colombia.

"The Venezuelan government will send to Bogota, immediately, diplomatic personnel charged with representing the republic before the government of Colombia," the Venezuelan government said in a statement posted online Sunday.
