Colombia: Annan says communication from FARC-EP is 'positive'

Secretary-General Kofi Annan “has been informed of the communication of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP) and considers it to be positive,” a spokesman for the United Nations said today.

“He has always made clear that his good offices are available to the parties,” the spokesman said in a statement released in New York.

Reached by telephone, a UN spokesman said the Secretary-General's Special Adviser on International Assistance to Colombia, James Le Moyne, has recently been in touch with the parties in accordance with his mandate.
