Paris : The French Foreign Ministry reiterated on Monday the country is willing to welcome members of the rebel Revolutionary Armed Force of Colombia (FARC), or study any way out allowing the release of French-Colombian Ingrid Betancourt.
Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman Pascale Andreani declared Betancourt’s release is a top priority for the government, and doors are open for analysis of alternatives in that regard.
France fully favors a global humanitarian solution to the detainees’ issue, Andreani highlighted in allusion to the possible exchange of prisoners between FARC and the Colombian government.
It is possible to welcome FARC members if that is agreed in a context of positive negotiations for all the parties, the source added.
Interviewed by TF1 channel, French Prime Minister Francois Fillon last night expressed the desire to carry out goodwill actions to help solving that problem.
