Claudia Mosquera Rosero-Labbé, the current Ambassador of Colombia to Senegal, is a key figure in strengthening diplomatic relations between Colombia and Africa within the context of Global South dynamics. Her extensive academic and professional experience allows her to critically address relevant issues such as racial equality and racism, which are crucial for fostering effective intercultural dialogue. During her tenure, Mosquera aims not only to establish diplomatic ties but also to promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences that can enrich both regions. Her focus on cultural differences and environmental conflicts reflects a commitment to sustainable development and social inclusion. In her conversation with Estela Simancas, they are likely to discuss how these relationships can translate into concrete benefits for communities in Colombia and Senegal, as well as the role of international organizations in promoting these ties. Mosquera’s experiences and testimonies will be essential to understanding the complexity and importance of relations between Global South countries. In conversation with Estela Simancas.
