In Colombia, Miroslav Jenča, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, emphasized the necessity of ensuring the continuity and full implementation of the 2016 Peace Agreement.

He expressed readiness to cooperate with the Syrian government to connect international and domestic efforts for a Syrian-led transition.
