BOGOTA, March 21 (Reuters) - South American e-commerce giant Mercado Libre will invest $380 million in Colombia this year, the company said in a statement on Thursday.

The investment will go towards advancing the company's technology and strengthening its logistics operations and other key areas, the statement added.
