There is a lot of inequality in Colombia. We have to correct that.
True education makes for inequality; the inequality of individuality, the inequality of success, the glorious inequality of talent, of genius.
When we first invested in Colombia, we were buying a lot of coal from Colombia. We were dealing with them daily. I knew their guys at the port, I knew their guys at the mine, I had a feel of the country.

In Colombia, we have a lot of passion.

There are some people who say that they?re concerned only with poverty but not inequality. But I don?t think that is a sustainable thought.

Juanes is one of the legendary, iconic Colombian artists. Growing up in Colombia, you can't really not have him on your radar. His songs are everywhere, and there's a statue of him. He's pretty big for Latin America, and for Colombia especially.
