On Friday, in a statement, on behalf of his government and the Venezuelan people, Maduro celebrated the signing of the agreements for the processes of society’s participation in the construction of peace and the bilateral, temporary and national ceasefire, reached in the day.

The text affirmed that this constitutes a definitive path for peace “in sister Colombia”.

The Bolivarian Republic as guarantor country “expresses its most unrestricted support” to President Gustavo Petro and his people for the firm will to promote total peace in the Neo-Granadian nation, the note indicated.

Government and ELN negotiators agreed last Friday in Havana, in the presence of Petro and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, on a bilateral ceasefire throughout the country and the readiness for the participation of society.

The document also included the definition of a fourth cycle of the Dialogue Table to be held in Venezuela between August 14 and September 4 of this year, in which a balance of the agreements adopted so far will be made.
