Venezuela has reopened its border with Colombia, eight days after President Nicolas Maduro closed it in order to combat smuggling, APA reports quoting the WSJ.
Hundreds of Venezuelans have been crossing into Colombia to buy products that are scarce in their country.
President Maduro had closed the border at the same time as announcing the withdrawal of the country's highest denomination bank note.
He has accused criminal gangs of hoarding vast amounts of cash.
Products subsidised by Venezuela's socialist government, including petrol, sugar and flour, can also end up being sold on the Colombian side of the border at much higher prices.
