The Government of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-People''s Army (FARC-EP) agreed here on highlighting progress in the peace talks, which clears doubts and concerns about the progress of the process .
Closing the fifth cycle of the dialogue launched last November 19 at the Havana International Conference Center, heads of delegations at the table, Humberto de la Calle by the government and the guerrillas Ivan Marquez, expressed Friday optimism around the talks.
According to commander Marquez, "never a peace process had advanced this much" in Colombia, which has lived several failed attempts to end this fifty-year conflict.
We are building an agreement that approximates five pages, he said to the press, referring to the busy road over 100 days of approach, a process that has Cuba and Norway as guarantors and Venezuela and Chile in the escort role.
Meanwhile, former Vice President De la Calle said reporters "have gone from the approaches to the agreements" in the matter of agriculture, the first of the six items scheduled for discussion to be taken to the talks.
The parties made clear their views on the progress of the table in the eleventh joint statement issued from the beginning of the talks, which cited progress on issues such as land access and use, property formalization, and the border setting, among others.
They also highlighted the Colombian society contribution to the process, with their proposals and criteria set by the mechanisms created by the government and the FARC-EP for citizen participation.
