You Can't Settle A 50-year Conflict In

I Remember In 2000, When President Clinton Came To Cartagena Just Before Plan Colombia Started, The Country Was On The Verge Of Becoming A Failed State. Today, We Are One Of The Most Solid Democracies, Where Institutions Are Working, Where The Scandals Such As False Positives Have Come To Light Because Of Those Functioning Institutions.

Colombia Has A Huge Variety Of Plant And Animal Species, And We Have Enormous Potential. Small And Mid-sized Companies Should Come To Colombia. From Here, They Have Access To The Entire Latin American Market.

Waging War Is Much More Popular Than Negotiating, Because There You Need To Compromise.

It Was Shameful That, After Haiti, Colombia Was The Second Most Unequal Country In Latin America. But We've Achieved Some Things; The Inequality Is Coming Down, And Coming Down Fast. The Growing Economy Has Provided Us With The Funds To Finance A Very Progressive Social Policy That Has Reduced Extreme Poverty. We Have The Lowest Inflation Rate Of All Latin-america Countries And The Highest Growth Rate.

Today, We Must Acknowledge, That War Has Not Been Won.
