Colombia has somewhat of a negative image in the West due to the drugs cartels but when viewed from the perspective of its progress as a State it is one of the most successful countries in Latin America. It joined the OECD in 2020, has manageable debt and deficits and has achieved near universal health coverage. Numerous challenges are works in progress but the dramatic fall in violence in the last decade and a half should be noted.
