Addressing an online conference hosted by the UN Security Council (UNSC) in New York on April 14 to discuss a report on the UN Mission overseeing the realisation of the peace agreement in Colombia, the diplomat suggested armed groups adopt a long-term ceasefire towards a conflict-free Colombia, for peace and development.

He expressed support for the priorities of the UN Secretary General identified in the report, as well as for the efforts made by the UN mission in Colombia to supervise the implementation of the agreement.

Participants from UNSC member nations praised the efforts and support measures taken to contain the COVID-19 outbreak as well as the implementation of the peace agreement in Colombia.
