Silva was named Ambassador to the United States by the President-elect Juan Manuel Santos on 27 July 2010 during an official visit to lima, Peru during Santos's pre-inauguration international tour. His appointment was interpreted as a reiteration of Colombia's security concerns going forward: "I believe that the purpose of my appointment is a clear signal that security and defence issues in bilateral relations with the United States are still very important," Silva told reporters.
