The Member States of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) welcome the resumption of the political dialogue between the Government of the Republic of Colombia and the National Liberation Army (ELN, in Spanish) in order to progress in a peace process and the building of democracy.

The reinstatement of a political dialogue table in Caracas, Venezuela, on November 21, 2022, after four years interrupted, represents an example of social justice, peace, and democracy.

The Alliance especially acknowledges the role of Cuba and Venezuela, committed as guarantor countries of this process, in strict compliance with this condition in a “responsible and impartial manner”.

ALBA-TCP expresses its best wishes for the success of these political dialogues and reaffirms its commitment to all efforts to achieve the full peace in this sisterly nation.
