Colombian government and ELN rebels define first steps for ceasefire

Colombia and the National Liberation Army (ELN) rebel group agreed to start talks on a cease-fire as the second round of peace dialogue ended Friday in Mexico.

Although it was expected that the second round of negotiations would result in the signing of a cease-fire agreement, the delegations announced that nothing definitive has been decreed.

"We announce the start of the ceasefire conversation," said the agreement released during an event attended by negotiators from both sides.

"The first steps were taken to achieve a bilateral, national and temporary ceasefire,” said Pablo Beltran, chief ELN negotiator. “We must all change in order to achieve a comprehensive and lasting peace, we must all participate in its design and implementation.”
