He has served as Ambassador of Colombia to the United Kingdom, to France, and to Canada, as Permanent Representative of Colombia to the United Nations and to the Organization of American States, and as Chargé d'affaires of the Colombian Legation to the United States as Minister Plenipotentiary.

On 9 July 1988, President Barco reassigned Cepeda once again, but this time appointing him Ambassador of Colombia to the United Kingdom, where he travelled to the next day and presented his Letters of Credence to Her Majesty Elizabeth II Queen Elizabeth II of the Commonwealth Realms on July 11 in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

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; 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. 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. Cepeda is also a member of Washington D.C. based think tank the Inter-American Dialogue.
