Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence
Colombian Peace Process: Discussion
Ms Mariela Kohon:
During the Santos Administration's time in office, there was an interesting group of high-profile, prominent business people promoting the peace agreement. They played a very important role in trying to get the business community behind the process. I am not sure how active that group is now under the new Administration. The UN mission has done very interesting work at regional level with local businesses on trying to engage them in supporting reintegration projects and trying to see the economic benefits of peace. I am not an expert on it. That is as much as I know, but the UN has done some interesting work to try to promote that.
