<p>As penholder at the UN Security Council, the UK helped coordinate international
support to expand the mandate of the UN Verification Mission in Colombia to verify
the implementation of the ceasefire between the Colombian government and the National
Liberation Army (ELN). The ceasefire agreed between the Colombian Government and the
National Liberation Army (ELN) and its extension following recent talks in Havana
is a welcome step. During my visit to Colombia earlier this month, I [Minister Rutley]
was able to convey our hope that the ceasefire will contribute to improving security
and alleviate the suffering of conflict-affected communities.</p>
