The Colombian Petroleum Association, ACP, congratulates Iván Duque on his election as President of Colombia

The Colombian Petroleum Association, ACP, congratulates Dr. Iván Duque Márquez on his victory in the democratic day of Sunday, June 17.

The challenges of the new government are enormous and will require joint work with the different sectors of society. As representatives of companies dedicated to the exploration, production, and transportation of hydrocarbons, and wholesale distribution of fuels and lubricants, we express our commitment and willingness to continue working for the sustainable development of the country and the producing regions.

In the last 100 years, the oil and gas industry has been fundamental in the economic and social development of Colombia and its regions, operating under the highest technical and environmental standards. Thus, the hydrocarbons sector, through its direct and indirect contributions at the national and territorial levels, has been decisive in boosting the country's economy, achieving fiscal goals, financing public investment, energy self-sufficiency, reducing poverty, and improving the quality of life of Colombians.

We reiterate our congratulations to the elected president, Iván Duque, and wish him the greatest success. The new president of the Colombians can count on an industry that has been and will continue to be committed to the country for 100 years.
