HAVANA: Peace talks between the Colombian government and leftist Farc rebels are progressing at a “good pace,” a guerrilla delegate said on the second day of closed-door talks yesterday in Cuba.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) declared a two-month ceasefire on the first day of the Havana talks on Monday in an optimistic sign for the latest effort to end Latin America’s longest-running insurgency.
“We are progressing at a good pace, on a good path, making sure that the people are fully participating in this process of building peace,” Farc commander Jesus Santrich said as he arrived at the talks.
The Colombian government delegation, led by former vice president Humberto de la Calle, entered the convention centre where the talks are being held without talking to reporters.
