Gustavo Petro’s victory made international news. It wasn’t just the cover of New York Timesbut has also been praised by the world’s most influential leaders. One of them was Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, who also underlined the commonalities between himself and the future Colombian president.
“Congratulations to Gustavo Petro, President-elect of Colombia, and to Francia Márquez, Vice President-elect and the first Afro-Colombian to hold this position. I look forward to working with you on our priorities, such as democracy, gender equality and climate.” tweeted the Canadian president.
Gustavo Petro thanked the congratulator who would be his counterpart in Canada, stressing that they agree on several points.
Thank you Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, peace, women’s equality and climate justice are our common agenda. https://t.co/faBxXA497H

“Thank you, Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, peace, women’s equality and climate justice are our common agenda,” Petro responded on Twitter.
Trudeau, like Petro, is ambitious in his proposals to mitigate the effects of climate change. The president typically forges international alliances to implement measures that reduce environmental impact and, if what was said in the trills comes true, he could be a close ally of the Colombian president-elect.
