Havana, February 3 (RHC) -- Negotiators for the government of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos arrived in Cuba this Sunday to resume peace talks with representatives of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) militias.
The team, led by former Vice President Humberto de la Calle, is scheduled to sit down with the rebel representatives for talks starting Monday following an 11-day recess. De la Calle did not talk to reporters upon his arrival in Havana.
Negotiators for the Colombian government and the guerrillas have been in talks since November 2012 on reaching an agreement that would end a half-century of armed conflict.
Two of the negotiators' six-point agenda have already been agreed upon. Currently, both sides are discussing the issue of illegal drugs.
The FARC delegation, headed by lead negotiator Ivan Marquez, has remained in Cuba since the start of the talks.
