Havana, October 11 (RHC)-- Cuba reiterated Monday its unwavering, unconditional support for a lasting peace in Colombia.
A statement issued by the Cuban Foreign Ministry (Minrex) salutes a joint decision by the government of President Juan Manuel Santos and the country's second largest rebel group –The National Liberation Army (ELN)-- to begin official peace talks in Quito, Ecuador, on October 27th.
Minrex thanked both sides for their confidence in Cuba, particularly their decision to again designate our country as a guarantor of the talks.
