U.S. President George W. Bush will meet his Colombian counterpart Alvaro Uribe on Sept. 20 to beef up cooperation between the two countries, the White House announced on Friday.
"Colombia is a strategic ally of the United States, and this visit underscores the deep friendship and extensive cooperation between the United States and Colombia," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said in a statement.
"The two leaders will discuss a range of issues, including their shared commitment to the United States-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement, continuing to reduce violence and increase peace and security in Colombia, and strengthening democracy throughout the region," the spokeswoman said.
Bush met with Uribe at his Texas ranch in December 2007 with the two sides having talks over bilateral trade and issues of mutual concern.
