The Colombian and Venezuelan foreign ministers, Maria Angela Holguin and Delcy Rodriguez, met in Ecuador on Saturday to try to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro Monday accepted the offered by Brazil and Argentina to mediate in a dialogue between him and his Colombian counterpart Juan Manuel Santos to discuss and resolve the border issue.
After the border incident, Venezuela closed major border crossing points last month and deported over a thousand of Colombians in a bid to fight crime and a thriving cross-border smuggling trade.
The countries have been locked in a row since Maduro on August 19 closed part of the border after unidentified assailants attacked a Venezuelan anti-smuggling patrol, wounding three soldiers and a civilian.
As many as 16,000 Colombians have left neighboring Venezuela, according to the United Nations.
Colombians have been pressured in lots of instances to cross rivers and bridges with their belongings on their backs. Maduro says he is protecting his country from criminals who smuggle everything from gasoline to flour across the border, but his political opponents say he is using Colombians as scapegoats to distract from Venezuela’s economic crisis.
Authorities estimate that some 40 percent of food and other products subsidized by the government to keep prices extremely low are diverted to Colombia, and that includes 200,000 barrels of oil a day, which in the Caribbean country are practically sold for a song, only to be resold by smugglers at global prices.
Whereas they agreed to resume diplomatic s after ambassadors have been withdrawn, they did not agree on a gathering between the 2 nation’s presidents.

The disaster was defused when Santos took workplace.
