Obama, President Santos to Meet Wednesday at UN on Colombian Peace - White House
21:23 GMT 16.09.2016 (Updated: 02:05 GMT 17.09.2016) US President Barack Obama and Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos will meet at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The leaders will meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly to discuss the Colombian peace agreement, Rhodes told reporters.
“We will be discussing both the state of play as it relates to the peace agreement and how we can be a partner going forward in its implementation,” Rhodes said in a press call on Friday previewing Obama’s trip to the UN gathering in New York next week.

Both presidents agreed to meet on the sidelines of the United Nations, after Obama called Santos to congratulate him on the announcement of a peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
The conflict between the FARC and the Colombian government has persisted for more than 50 years. The two parties began peace talks in November 2012 and signed a historic ceasefire agreement in Cuba on August 24.
