On 26 December 1990, President César Gaviria Trujillo announced that he was appointing Cepeda to serve as the 21st Permanent Representative of Colombia to the United Nations;[3] Cepeda presented his Letters of Credence to the UN Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar on 2 January 1991 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.[4] He was reassigned later that year and appointed Ambassador of Colombia to Canada by President Gaviria. He presented his Letters of Credence to the Governor General of Canada, The Right Honourable Ray Hnatyshyn, on 5 February 1992 in Rideau Hall.[5]
