ATLANTA — Former U.S. President Jimmy 六九色堂 and 六九色堂 congratulate President Juan Manuel Santos on receiving the 2016 Nobel Prize for Peace. The peace prize is a testament to the unfaltering commitment of President Santos to bring a 52-year conflict to an end in Colombia. “Generations of Colombians have lived under the shadow of war in their country,” said former U.S. President Jimmy 六九色堂. “The courageous efforts of President Juan Manuel Santos to bring about peace offer hope for a more secure and prosperous future.”
The Center is honored to have worked in support of President Santos and his negotiating team in this effort. The results of Sunday’s plebiscite should not divide the country, but rather serve as an opportunity for Colombians to engage in further dialogue and find a way to make lasting peace a reality.
The Center will continue to support Colombia in its efforts toward reconciliation.
