Press Releases: The United States Welcomes Progress in Efforts To Achieve Peace in Colombia 05/18/2014 02:42 PM EDT The United States Welcomes Progress in Efforts To Achieve Peace in Colombia Press Statement John Kerry Secretary of State Washington, DC May 18, 2014 The United States welcomes the announcement of further progress in efforts to achieve the peace the Colombian people deserve through negotiations. Resolving the question of narcotics production and trafficking is central to achieving that peace. We congratulate president Santos and the Colombian government for this advance. The FARC has long been deeply involved in, and profited from, cocaine production and transshipment. Reducing cocaine trafficking, including through eradication and interdiction, helped establish the conditions for the peace process now underway. In making this announcement, Colombian government officials underlined the importance of maintaining both manual and aerial eradication capabilities. As this process moves forward, we will engage with our Colombian partners on this important topic.
