Dialogue and consensus mechanisms are political forums, generally at a regional level, that articulate integration, cooperation and development efforts. They constitute a priority of the Government of Colombia towards an effective positioning among non-traditional partners and regions.

Some of the mechanisms in which Colombia participates include the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), LATIN-ARCH FORUM, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), Mesoamerica Project, among other.
