Havana, (EFE).- The negotiators of the Government of Colombia and the guerrilla of the National Liberation Army (ELN) announced this Thursday the extension of the third cycle of peace talks until June 8, ten days more than expected .
The third cycle, which follows those carried out in Venezuela (November) and Mexico (March), started on May 2 and was initially scheduled to end on May 29.
The parties assured that they are “positively advancing their work”, but that “given the importance of the issues on the agenda”, among which a ceasefire stands out, they have decided to “extend” the negotiations.
