 The Simon Bolivar International Bridge that connects Cucuta with the Venezuelan city of San Antonio was adorned in white, many of the concertgoers and singers were dressed in white as a symbol of peace.
Hours before this historic concert, the renowned Colombian rocker Juanes sent a message of support to the Agents of Peace and the work they undertake worldwide.
"Hello, how is everyone, I am Juanes. Greetings to all the Agents of Peace of AMISRAEL. I send you a big hug. And, well, peace is something that matters to everyone and we should all construct it. Keep going forward so that more and more are added."
At the concert, a group of Agents of Peace from Cucuta were present to support not only this type of manifestation but any other that support peace.
