The Colombian government and guerrilla ELN (National Liberation Army) are meeting in the Cuban capital Sunday to agree on a working agenda for a possible peace talk.
Colombia's High Peace Commissioner Luis Carlos Restrepo, and ambassador in Cuba Julio Londono are heading the governmental delegation, while rebel leaders Pablo Beltran, Juan Carlos Cuellar, and Francisco Galan are doing so for the ELN.
Sources close to the negotiators told Prensa Latina these first sessions of the fifth round of talks aim to identify several items in the talk's agenda.
According to the parties, the exchanges facilitated by Cuba's authorities are seeking an outline agreement for a probable cease fire.
