ProColombia, Colombia's state agency for international promotion, announced that its new director, Samuel Bluman Levy, will relocate the agency's overseas offices into embassies and consulates. This move is part of a broader cost-cutting initiative announced by President Abelardo De La Espriella. Bluman, a businessman from Antioquia, brings over four decades of experience in textiles, garment manufacturing, foreign trade, precision logistics, and business financing to the position.
He was sworn in as ProColombia's new director on 21 August 2026, following a failed nomination earlier in the year. Bluman's appointment follows a failed nomination for the same post, but his background in foreign trade positions him well for the role. ProColombia's mission includes promoting exports, encouraging business expansion, and strengthening Colombia's international image.
The agency's international offices will be moved into embassies and consulates, signaling a shift in focus towards cost reduction and increased efficiency.
