在哥伦比亚武装部队和警察指挥官的拥簇下，总统桑托斯请求哥伦比亚人提供实现和平进程的机会。他说作为总统，不能错失这个机会，尤其是考虑到数百万遭受50多年武装冲突蹂躏的民众。桑托斯说和平进程并非易事，政府将定期予以重审，如果没有进展立刻停止。提到上次，也就是10年前失败的协商，他强调说不会停火，不会给叛军以安全避难所。

The stage is set for the Democratic Party's response to the Republican convention last week in Tampa.

The highlight of this first day will undoubtedly be Michelle Obama, a great favorite among the Democratic faithful. They seem keen to show that they're not browbeaten by four difficult years in which Barack Obama has struggled to pursue his agenda in the teeth of the vociferous Republican opposition. Campaign officials sound confident, but predict a very tight race.
