Reunification of Gran Colombia refers to the potential future reunification of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama under a single government. Although Gran Colombia only existed for 12 years and dissolved in the 19th century, interest and efforts in reunification were expressed as early as 1903 when Panama separated from Colombia. People in favor of reunification are called "unionistas" or unionists. In 2008, President of Venezuela Hugo Chávez announced a proposal for the political restoration of Gran Colombia, under the Bolivarian Revolution.
