A U.S. deal on military bases in Colombia is pitting Bogota against many neighboring countries, which feared the bases would threaten their national security and heighten regional tension, Xinhua reported.
Venezuela, which borders Colombia to the north, is the most vehement opponent of the plan. Its president Hugo Chavez on Tuesday instructed the foreign ministry to get prepared to sever ties with Bogota.
Bolivian President Evo Morales proposed Wednesday that South Americans vote in a continent-wide referendum on the issue.
Others,including Uruguay, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil supported the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) to intervene in the case.
The Unasur has decided to meet on Friday in Argentina to discuss the issue.
