for Colombia. It would not be appropriate to provide details about this programme,
as its disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness
or security of the Armed Forces. <br><br>In addition, a number of other Armed Forces
and Ministry of Defence personnel travelled to Colombia during 2013 and 2014 in order
to further the defence relationship. These visits focused on defence education; transformation
of the Colombian defence organisation; human rights and humanitarian law and post
conflict transition.</p>
