The message read, in part:
“We intend to continue the course aimed at developing the entire spectrum of friendly Russian-Colombian relations. We hope to develop active cooperation in countering the new challenges of our time and fighting against international terrorism, organised crime and illegal drug trafficking.
We support the course of the democratically elected Colombian leadership aiming to put an end to the ongoing armed conflict in your country. We are ready to assist international efforts in a search for a peaceful settlement.”
