Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Viscount Montgomery of Alamein (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Bach (Labour) on Wednesday, 12 March 2008.
Colombia: Terrorism
- Question
- What is their response to the recent terrorist activity on the Colombia-Ecuador border.
- Answer
-
My Lords, we have expressed our concern about the tensions along Colombia's borders. In discussions with representatives of the Governments concerned, we have encouraged all parties to show restraint and pursue a political solution. We therefore welcome the outcome of the Rio Group summit on 7 March, where the Governments of Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela, together with other members of the Rio Group, made a commitment to peaceful co-operation in the region and to tackling the ongoing activity and influence of illegal terrorist groups, which was at the root of this crisis.
