I kēia mau lā, ua hoʻolaha ʻia kahi ʻaelike kaʻa mokulele i hoʻonui ʻia ma waena Kanada a me Kolombia, ka mea e hiki ai i nā mokulele i koho ʻia o nā ʻāina ʻelua e hana i ka helu palena ʻole o nā kaʻa a me nā mokulele ukana ma Kanada a me Kolombia. He hoʻomaikaʻi koʻikoʻi kēia mai ka ʻaelike i hala, i ʻae ʻia he 14 mau mokulele a me 14 mau mokulele ukana i kēlā me kēia pule.
ʻO Kanada kekahi o nā mākeke koʻikoʻi no ka hoʻopuka ʻana i nā huakaʻi hele honua i Kolombia. I nā makahiki ʻelima i hala iho nei, ʻo ka nui o nā mākaʻikaʻi o Kanada e hōʻea ana i ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika Hema he 48.28%.
"Ke hana nei mākou i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i kahi ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi ʻoi aku ka noʻonoʻo a alakaʻi ʻia e ke kaiāulu, mahalo mākou i kēia nūhou e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻomau i ka hōʻike ʻana iā Kolombia ma ke ʻano he wahi hoʻomau a me nā biodiverse i kahi helu nui o nā huakaʻi ʻAmelika ʻAmelika," wahi a Carmen Caballero, Pelekikena o ʻO ProColombia, ke keʻena hoʻolaha o Colombia, ʻo ia kahi ʻāpana o ka Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Tourism.
"Makemake mākou e ʻike ka poʻe Kanada e pili kokoke ana ʻo Kolombia ma mua o ka manaʻo o ka hapa nui o ka poʻe, ʻo 5.5 mau hola wale nō mai Toronto a me 7 mau hola mai Montréal, a no ka mea he ʻāina ʻāina mākou, ua mahana ka ʻāina i ka makahiki āpau," wahi a Caballero.
I kēia manawa, ʻekolu mau mokulele e lele ana ma waena o kēia mau ʻāina, a hoʻopili pololei ʻia ʻo Toronto me nā alapine he ʻumikumamālua o kēlā me kēia pule me Bogotá a me Cartagena, e hoʻokele ʻia e Air Canada a me Avianca. Eia kekahi, ʻehā mau mokulele i kēlā me kēia pule e hoʻopili iā Montreal i Bogotá a me Cartagena ma o Air Canada a me Air Transat. ʻO Kolombia i kēia manawa ka mākeke kaʻa kaʻa mokulele honua nui loa ma ʻAmelika Hema.
Wahi a ke Kuhina Kaʻahele o Kanada, ʻo Omar Alghabra, "ʻO kēia kuʻikahi i hoʻonui nui ʻia e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka pilina no nā poʻe kaʻa a me nā ʻoihana ma Kanada a me Kolombia a hōʻike i kā mākou kūpaʻa e hoʻomaikaʻi i nā lawelawe ea me ʻAmelika Latin. E hoʻomau kā mākou aupuni i ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i kā mākou ʻoihana a me kā mākou ʻoihana ea, a ʻo kēia ʻaelike hoʻonui e kōkua i nā ʻoihana Kanada e hana pēlā ".
E like me ka nui o Ontario, ʻo Kolombia ke kaena nei i nā ʻokoʻa like ʻole me nā wahi kūʻokoʻa e hui pū ai i nā kahakai Caribbean maʻemaʻe, nā kūlanakauhale moʻomeheu moʻomeheu, nā ululāʻau, nā mauna kofe, nā wao nahele, nā ʻāina kū a me ka maluhia, a me nā mea hou aku. ʻO ia hoʻi, e like me Kanada, ʻo Kolombia kahi ʻāina multicultural nui, a -e like me nā Kanada - makemake mau ka poʻe Kolombia e hālāwai me nā poʻe o waho me ka ʻakaʻaka hoʻokipa.
