Colombian President Álvaro Uribe met with republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin in New York today. The meeting took place in New York City, where Uribe is attending the United Nations General Summit. He and Palin spoke for about 30 minutes in what Uribe called ‘fruitful’ reunion. One of the main subjects they talked about was the Free Trade Agreement between Colombia and the United States.
Palin has been in New York these days trying to broaden her international credentials, and it has been said that her meeting with Uribe is a way of showing that she is indeed prepared for dealing with foreign policy issues.
President Uribe on the other hand has been in the United States since Saturday, day he met with president George W. Bush. They also mainly discussed the FTA, which has always had Bush’s support, but has not been as well received in Congress.
President Uribe also took time to meet privately with French president Nicolas Sarkozy during the UN Summit.
