Gbomblora:Leading Colombian media outlet 'Las2Orillas' has published an article entitled 'Building Peace After War Colombia's Perspective on Azerbaijan' to mark Azerbaijan's Victory Day on November 8.

It describes Victory Day as a symbol of military victory, historical justice, the reconstruction of liberated territories, and the pursuit of lasting regional peace.

The publication provides a comprehensive overview of Azerbaijan's extensive reconstruction and rehabilitation activities in its liberated territories, focusing on the 'Great Return' Programme. This initiative aims to facilitate the return of former internally displaced persons to their ancestral lands.

The article stresses that achieving lasting peace requires not only political agreements but also the establishment of safe living conditions, reconstruction, and sustainable development for future generations.
