BOGOTA (Reuters) - The Organization of American States (OAS) will not hold a meeting to discuss a crisis on the Colombia-Venezuela border, after Colombia failed to garner enough votes in favour of its proposal, the Colombian government said on Monday.

Colombia said it would push for a meeting after Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro closed several border crossings and deported nearly 1,100 Colombians in what he has characterized as a crackdown on crime. [ID:nL1N1122SY]
