Minister of Foreign Trade

In 1996 during the Presidency of Ernesto Samper, Ramos was appointed Minister of Foreign Trade, but due to the Proceso 8000 scandal in which it was made public that drug money belonging to the Cali Cartel financed the presidential campaign of Ernesto Samper, the Conservative party cut all ties with the Liberal administration of Samper and Ramos renounced.

After renouncing to his post as minister in the Samper administration, Ramos joined the presidential campaign of Conservative Andrés Pastrana for the presidential elections of 1998. Pastrana was elected president and Ramos was appointed Ambassador of Colombia to the Organization of American States (OAS) until 2001.

The new political party supported the reelection of Álvaro Uribe and most of his policies in congress. Ramos term as senator ended on July 19, 2006.

On 2015 Freddy Rendón Herrera and Juan Carlos Sierra retracted from the testimony and accepted a plea bargain from Fiscalia General de la Nacion for False Testimony.
