Venezuela exports to Colombia amounted to some 48 million U.S. dollars from January to April, compared with just 22.6 million dollars a year ealier, the agency said, citing Luis Alberto Russian, chairman of the Venezuelan-Colombian Chamber of Economic Integration.
After Colombian President Gustavo Petro took office in August last year, Venezuela and Colombia embarked on a process of rapprochement and normalized relations.
One of the first measures was to reopen their shared border, which Petro's predecessor Ivan Duque closed during his term (2018-2022).
In February this year, Colombia and Venezuela signed a partial scope agreement to facilitate trade.
