Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said that the warming of relations between Colombia and Venezuela was an example of how South America has learned to live democratically, reports EFE.

Speaking at the fourth summit of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) in the Guayanian capital of Georgetown, Lula praised the "harmonious" relationship between Colombia and Venezuela.

Comparing the current situation between the neighboring countries to the diplomatic spat of earlier in the year, Lula said "this is the miracle of politics."

The Brazilian leader also highlighted the success of the region in the past ten years and said that other nations have to respect the sovereignty of South American states.
