Bogotá, December 9 (RHC)---- The 35th Meeting of the World Parliamentarians Action Network today began a two-day meeting in Bogotá, Colombia, focusing on the conflict in that nation and on the current peace process to end it.
The meeting has assembled one hundred and thirty participants from congress and legislative institutions from over forty nations in support of the current peace dialogue in Havana between the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Peoples Army, on the one hand, and the Government of Colombia, on the other.
The Havana peace talks began just over a year ago and are actively supported by Cuba and Norway.
World renowned legislators, such as Lola Kissanga, from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sigfrido Reyes, from El Salvador, Jim Walsh, from Ireland, and Stephen Tashoboya, from Uganda, are attending the Bogota congress meeting, which is examining the role of parliamentarians in peace processes.
