Colombia became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on July 9, 2008. During 2020 and 2021, the Federación Nacional de Departamentos (FND), an entity comprised of the representatives of the subnational authorities, continued developing the investment agreement entered into with Philip Morris International (PMI). In the course of this agreement new tobacco research facilities have been launched. Furthermore, there have been meetings between representatives of subnational authorities and Coltabaco (a subsidiary of PMI), to discuss anti-tobacco smuggling operations. The FND has also created the so-called “legal trade zones” initiative to fight the illegal commerce of tobacco products, with the support of British American Tobacco (BAT).
