Colombia predicts $10 bln in foreign investment from Europe this year-minister

Colombia expects to attract $10 billion in foreign investment from Europe this year, especially in renewable energy, Finance Minister Ricardo Bonilla said during a visit to London.

"We are talking about investments for $10 billion to start, which will help us settle important and strategic projects," Bonilla told journalists.

"Ecopetrol is at a key moment to make strategic alliances in the effort to build green hydrogen," he added, referring to Colombia's majority state-owned energy company.
