Colombian President Alvaro Uribe arrived in Villavicencio city in central Colombia on Monday to hold talks with the international commission participating in "Emmanuel Operation" to transfer the hostages.
Uribe arrived at Apiay's Air Base, neighboring Villavicencio, to reiterate the government's security guarantees for the operation.
Uribe will meet with the delegates of Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Cuba, France, Switzerland and Venezuela currently in Villavicencio, capital of Meta department.
The delegates are in Villavicencio waiting for Colombia's Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) to give the coordinates of the site where the three hostages will be released, including former legislator Consuelo Gonzalez, politician Clara Rojas and her son Emmanuel, born in captivity.
According to Colombia's high peace commissioner Luis Carlos Restrepo, Uribe wants to personally ratify the guarantees to the delegates and the International Red cross Committee.
Restrepo blamed the FARC for the delay of the "Emmanule Operation" to transfer the hostages.
"We are all willing and we can do it permanently, it is a very simple operation, we only need the FARC to tell us where the hand over is going to take place and we give the guarantees and we do not fix a term," Restrepo said. Source: Xinhua
