Congreso de Cúcuta

The Congreso de Cúcuta was a meeting held in 1828 between representatives of Gran Colombia (present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama). Its main goal was to create a new constitution to unify these territories into one nation, addressing regional differences and establishing legal and political frameworks. The congress was crucial in shaping the political structure of Gran Colombia, promoting independence, and fostering regional cooperation. It played a significant role in the country's early efforts to define a unified identity and governance after independence from Spain.
