NAM Backs Chavez's Humanitarian Efforts in Colombia

Teheran, Sept 4 (Prensa Latina) The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM)
unanimously backed on Tuesday the efforts Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez is making to find a solution to the conflict between the
government and the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC).

All 112 countries attending the NAM Ministerial Meeting on Human Rights
and Cultural Diversity, which concluded here today, issued a
declaration acknowledging Chavez's efforts to contribute to a
humanitarian agreement in Colombia.

We welcome and back "in an enthusiastic way the support role of the
president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez Frias,
in the search of humanitarian solutions in the Republic of Colombia,"
the document says.

Chavez's efforts are aimed at reaching an agreement between the
government of President Alvaro Uribe and the FARC, including the
release of Colombian citizens held by the guerrilla organization.

On Friday, Chavez traveled to Colombia, where he met with Uribe, paving
the way for a humanitarian agreement between the government and the
insurgents, and strengthening bilateral ties.

Chavez's visit was preceded by a meeting in Caracas on August 20 among
the Venezuelan president, relatives of people held by the guerrillas
and Liberal Senator Piedad Cordoba. The meeting was resumed in Bogota.

The Venezuelan head of State also met with representatives of Colombian
political, economic and social sectors.
