We are aware that President Santos suspended the peace process negotiations following the kidnap of Brigadier-General Ruben Dario Alzate, Corporal Jorge Rodriguez Contreras, and a civilian lawyer, Gloria Urrego, on Sunday 16 November. We welcome the reports that an agreement has now been reached to release Brigadier-General Alzate and his colleagues.

We strongly support the peace negotiations and would welcome their resumption at the earliest opportunity.
