Colombian government, FARC resume dialogue in Cuba

Xinhua, June 18, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the country's largest rebel group, resumed their peace talks here Wednesday.

During the talks, the 38th round held in Havana since November 2012, the two sides are expected to focus on justice for crimes committed by the FARC during its half-century armed conflict with the government.

The FARC said Monday it hoped to reach agreement with the government on the delivery of children aged under 15 who were kept as "refugees" in their camps.

So far, the two sides have agreed on three of the six points in the peace agenda, and on a landmine clearing program.

A joint subcommittee of the two sides will continue deliberations on a permanent ceasefire.
