<<Despite of the progresses made by Uribe’s administration in fighting against illegally armed forces,Colombian security situation remained severe and the issue of hostage rescue found hard choices in 2008. The government sank in political crisis as it’s suspected of being linked with paramilitaries. As a reflection of the impacts of financial crisis,Colombia’s economic growth pace slowed down,the inflationary pressure was difficult to be mitigated and current account’s deficits increased constantly. To react to shocks of the current crisis,the once restrictive monetary policy tended to be more flexible and the fiscal authorities began to feel the pressure of increasing income and reducing expenditure. With a deteriorating economy,employment situation is anything but optimistic. Demonstrations erupted constantly,a symptom of people’s dissatisfaction with the ill public security. On the diplomatic front,the US remained the priority of Colombia’s foreign relations. Relations between Uribe’s government and leftist governments in Latin America were strained. The Sino-Colombian relationship was kept in steady development marked by increasing cooperation and exchange in all fields.
