Xinhua, August 18, 2014

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said Sunday that a committee of senior military officials and members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) will discuss a final ceasefire and surrender of arms by the insurgents.

"At some point, given the conditions, yes (to the bilateral ceasefire). And I can tell now that this committee, created by officers at the highest level, will be installed on Friday," Santos said in an interview published on Sunday in El Tiempo daily.

On the other hand, Santos said that if FARC continues its offensive against oil infrastructure, it could jeopardize the peace talks ongoing in Havana, Cuba.
