Germany has provided Colombia with 116 million euros over the last two years to help end the latter's decades-long armed conflict, Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin disclosed Wednesday.
Holguin said although Colombia has a stable economy and does not need such financial assistance, it accepted the aid after considering the importance of advancing the ongoing peace process with the guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the largest rebel group in Colombia.
She reiterated Colombia's gratitude to Germany for its aid.
Holguin's remarks were made in response to Berlin's latest offer of 45 million euros to Colombia during President Juan Manuel Santos's ongoing visit to Germany, part of his European tour to seek support for the Colombian peace process.
