Recognizing the 200th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Colombia.

House Resolution 1267 is a commemorative measure intended to formally recognize the 200th anniversary of Colombia’s independence from Spain. The resolution expresses the goodwill of the United States toward the Colombian people and acknowledges the ongoing efforts of the Colombian government to improve national security and democratic stability. As a simple resolution, it serves as a diplomatic gesture of friendship between the two nations and does not create new laws, authorize spending, or directly impact the daily lives of U.S. citizens.
