Miguel Uribe Londoño named Colombian ambassador to the UK
Miguel Uribe Londoño has been designated as the new Colombian ambassador to the United Kingdom by President Abelardo de la Espriella. The announcement, reported on August 13, 2026, marks a significant shift in Colombia's diplomatic representation in London.
Uribe Londoño is an economist, lawyer, and businessman who previously ran as a presidential candidate in the 2026 elections. His appointment is part of a broader restructuring of the diplomatic corps under the de la Espriella administration.
The designation carries personal weight, as it occurs one year after the death of his son, the late senator and presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay. In his new role, Uribe Londoño is expected to strengthen bilateral relations and represent Colombian interests before British authorities.
