Non-governmental organization Human Rights Watch recognized that Colombia has improved in "all areas" during the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos, Colombian media reported.

Chilean Jose Miguel Vivanco, Executive Director of HRW, said that Colombia improved in "all manner of areas" since President Santos took office in August 2010.

"Since then, recognize that with President Santos the country has improved its political climate, public debate, in all manner of things including obviously in the subject of human rights," said Vivanco after a meeting with President Santos at Casa de Nariño, the presidential palace.

Vivanco said he welcomed "the possibility to maintain a sustained and respectful dialogue," with the head of state and added that such a meeting "would not have been possible to have with former-president Uribe," President Santos' predecessor who ruled for eight years.
