Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua met with Colombia's top diplomat Friday after vowing to continue backing peace talks between the Colombian government and leftist rebels. Jaua's meeting with Colombia's Maria Angela Holguin came at a time when the talks between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have resumed after a holiday break. “One of President Chavez's big bets throughout these 14 years (of his presidency) has been to bet on peace in Colombia," Jaua said in the radio interview. “Of course we're going to continue supporting everything that the Colombian government requests of us to achieve the goal of peace."
