Colombia is set to open its embassy in Jerusalem in two weeks, becoming the tenth country to establish a diplomatic mission in the city. The Colombian Foreign Minister will visit Israel for the first time to attend the opening ceremony.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi welcomed the move, stating that it strengthens ties between the two nations. He also hinted that another country would soon open an embassy in Jerusalem, though he did not disclose which one.
