and other actors linked to the peace process in the Latin American country.

Díaz-Canel himself expressed on his Twitter account that he thanked the Colombian foreign minister for his call to put an end to the illegitimate inclusion of Cuba on the list of States Sponsors of Terrorism, by the United States government.

The objective of the meeting of Colombians in Havana is to resume the last peace negotiations with the ELN, which began in 2017 during the Government of Juan Manuel Santos (2010-2018) in Quito and were later transferred to the Cuban capital.

I held a meeting with representatives of the government of #Colombia and the ELN, parties to the peace process in that country, together with the guarantors of Norway and #Cuba, and representatives of the Secretary General of the UN and the Colombian Episcopal Conference.
