Laura Camila Sarabia Torres (born March 20, 1994) is a Colombian politician who has served as Chief of Staff of the Presidency from 2022 to 2023, General Director of Social Prosperity from 2023 to 2024, General Director of the DAPRE from 2024 to 2025 and since January 29, 2025 as Minister of Foreign Affairs replacing Luis Gilberto Murillo.
Sarabia has been characterized as one of the most controversial members of the Petro administration. Graduated in political science from the Nueva Granada Military University, she served as head of debate during Gustavo Petro 2022 presidential campaign, which made her one of the closest members to the president.
Her repeated appointments to high-level positions have been questioned by many experts, academics, and politicians due to her lack of experience and involvement in several major administration scandals—raising speculation that she may possess compromising information about the president as well as the presidential campaign.
