{{Main|Colombia–Israel relations}}

In a 2019 article in the [[Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs]], Marcos Peckel, a Colombian scholar noted that Colombian-Israeli relations can be looked through the lenses of military cooperation, trade links, education and culture, and recognition of Palestine.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23739770.2019.1727222|doi = 10.1080/23739770.2019.1727222|title = Colombia and Israel: Toward a Special Relationship|year = 2019|last1 = Peckel|first1 = Marcos|journal = Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs|volume = 13|issue = 3|pages = 353–363|s2cid = 216470716|url-access = subscription}}</ref> Militarily, Colombia was one of the first countries to give Israel weapons and engage in arms deals, which became an long-term bilateral agreement. Since then, Israel and Colombia have shared intelligence, and as Peckel explains, several pieces of Israeli technology. Trade-wise, too, both countries had a strong relationship. The Free Trade Agreement, a pending agreement between Colombia and Israel, hds the potential to further strengthen these relationships by boosting Colombian imports in Israel and increasing the presence of Israeli technology in Colombia. The spheres of education and culture between Colombia and Israel were deeply interwoven through Israeli scholarships to Colombians and a presence of media in each country.{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}} 
 
"Colombia supports the establishment of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel within mutually agreed-upon borders. It considers [[Israeli settlement|Israeli settlements]] in the West Bank [[Legality of Israeli settlements|illegal]] but strongly condemns Palestinian terrorism, and it advocates for a lasting peace based on the [[two-state solution]]".{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}} On resolutions in the UN General Assembly that compared Zionism to racism and wanted to establish a [[Palestinian right of return|right to return for Palestinians]], Colombia abstained. In 2018, Colombia officially [[International recognition of Palestine|recognized the State of Palestine]]. Despite creating a bump in the relations between the countries, the two re-established strong relations.{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}} On 1 May 2024, Colombia broke diplomatic ties with Israel as a result of the [[Gaza war]].

{{Main|Colombia–Japan relations}}
The relationship was officially established in 1908, only interrupted between 1942 and 1954 with the surge of World War II. Relations are mostly based on commercial trade that has favored Japan interests, cultural exchanges and technological and philanthropic aid to Colombia.<ref>{{in lang|es}} [http://es.colombiaembassy.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=91&Itemid=68 Colombian embassy in Japan] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070903195855/http://es.colombiaembassy.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=91&Itemid=68 |date=September 3, 2007 }}</ref>

|{{flag|Pakistan}}||<!--Date started-->19 June 1970||

Both Pakistan and Colombia do not enjoy cordial dealings with some of their neighbours. Another common aspect that makes the task of both Colombian and Pakistan Armed forces even tougher is the difficult terrain they have been encountering. Poverty, income inequality, destruction and degradation of other vital organs of the state have consequently been the natural by-products of insubordination and rebellions in both Colombia and [[Pakistan]]. Both the countries have similar Gross Domestic Products (GDPs) too. While the Colombian Purchasing Power Parity GDP stands at $460.406 billion, Pakistan s GDP stands at $464.897 billion (latest IMF statistics). Like Colombia, Pakistan too also witnesses a large presence of the US military personnel and civilian contractors on its territory. Colombia established diplomatic relations with Pakistan in 1980, but bilateral trade between the two countries was negligible which needed to be improved for the benefit of both nations.
* Colombia is accredited to Pakistan from its embassy in Ankara, Turkey.
* Pakistan is accredited to Colombia from its embassy in [[Brasília]], Brazil.
