Bogotá, D.C., 15 de octubre de 2026. The Academia Diplomática, in accordance with what is established in article 31, publishes the list of the candidates who confirmed their participation in the 2027 Diplomatic and Consular Training Course. (Read the full statement.)
Context
The statement does not mention the number of diplomats selected. However, in March the ministry said that 31 candidates would participate in the 2027 Diplomatic and Consular Training Course. The statement does not address the specific curriculum or objectives of the training program. The confirmation process follows a previously announced competition for entry into the Diplomatic and Consular Career (Concurso de Ingreso a la Carrera Diplomática y Consular) for 2028, the results of which were published on September 23, 2026. This confirms the ongoing commitment by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to invest in the training and development of its diplomatic personnel. The statement does not mention the budget allocated for this training course.
What to Watch
Should the visit yield further details regarding the training program’s focus – specifically, the emphasis on consular affairs – the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will likely release supplementary information. If the confirmed participants represent a diverse range of experience levels, it suggests a continued effort to broaden the skillsets within the diplomatic corps. The release of this list precedes the final publication of admitted candidates on October 5, 2026, indicating a planned timeline for the training program’s commencement. The statement does not address the potential for changes to the course schedule or content.
