I strongly support the Colombian peace process and hope that the negotiations underway will bring an end to the long conflict which has caused much suffering. In May, negotiators reached agreement on the land reform element of their discussions. In a positive development earlier this month, agreement was reached on the issue of political participation. I wish the parties to the negotiations success in reaching agreement on the other important items remaining on their agenda so that a final comprehensive peace agreement can be secured as soon as possible. Ireland will continue to follow closely developments on the Colombian peace process, and to support a negotiated solution to the conflict in Colombia.
