Ambassadorship

On 13 March President Álvaro Uribe Vélez appointed Chiappe as Ambassador of Colombia to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.[2] Chiappes officially presented her Letters of Credence to Vice President of Venezuela Ramón A Carrizales Rengifo on 3 April.[3] In 2010, President Uribe accused the Venezuelan government of permitting the FARC and ELN guerrillas to seek safe haven in its territory, following the Colombia–Venezuela diplomatic crisis; on July 22 the Colombian foreign ministry announced that Ambassador Chiappe, would be recalled "to evaluate the situation", following which they would present evidence at the OAS.[4]
