新华社波哥大1月8日电（记者李子健）据当地媒体8日报道，哥伦比亚内政部长阿曼多·贝内德蒂当天接受采访时表示，哥美元首同意联合打击反政府武装“哥伦比亚民族解放武装”。
贝内德蒂表示，哥伦比亚总统佩特罗和美国总统特朗普在7日的通话中探讨了边境安全等关键议题。双方同意在哥伦比亚与委内瑞拉边境地区对“哥伦比亚民族解放武装”予以“联合打击”。此举意在防止该组织受到哥伦比亚军队追击时，在委内瑞拉境内寻找“后方据点”。
佩特罗7日说，他当天同特朗普就两国关系、打击贩毒、委内瑞拉局势等议题交换了意见。
“哥伦比亚民族解放武装”1964年成立，据信有数千名成员。该组织被美国和欧盟列为恐怖组织，主要在哥伦比亚境内太平洋沿岸地区以及哥伦比亚与委内瑞拉接壤的边境地区活动。
