Colombia's Ordóñez returns to OAS, vows 'cultural battle' in foreign policy

Ambassador Ordóñez delivered a welcome speech to the OAS Permanent Council, outlining the government's new foreign policy centered on a 'cultural battle' and ending with 'Viva Cristo Rey.' This signals a shift toward ideological conservatism in Colombia's multilateral engagement, potentially straining relations with progressive member states. The speech's emphasis on cultural warfare suggests a departure from prior diplomatic norms, though its practical implications remain unclear.
