Petro's leftist government shifts Colombia's conflict resolution approach toward dialogue over military confrontation, strengthening ties with Cuba and Venezuela as mediators. This represents a diplomatic realignment away from the Duque administration's hardline stance and enhances regional influence of Cuba and Venezuela as peace guarantors.
Similar to the 2012-2016 Colombian peace process with FARC under Santos, which faced setbacks under Duque but is now being revived with broader ambitions under Petro's 'Total Peace' framework.
