Description
Colombians express optimism after President Gustavo Petro appointed Air Force General Pedro Sanchez as the new defense minister. "Beyond his military experience, he has shown social sensitivity," says tour guide Wilfredo Torres Palazzi, who also recalls Sanchez led the rescue operation of the four children lost for 40 days in the Amazon in 2023.
Sanchez is the first military officer to lead the ministry in over a decade in a country marked by half a century of armed conflict. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
