Colombian gov't and FARC to restart peace talks

The Colombian government and the insurgent Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) will return to the negotiation table in Havana from Nov. 3, to seek a new peace agreement.


Both parties held a press conference on Friday at Havana' s Convention Center, the venue of the last negotiations for four years, and agreed to try and quickly reach a definitive peace deal.

Ivan Marquez, chief of the FARC delegation to the talks, said that the parties will continue listening to a diverse number of organizations and personalities of Colombian society, including those who opposed the peace accord in the plebiscite on Oct. 2.

Marquez added that he trusted the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos as having the power to push through the constitutional peace process.
