Be assured that we are willing to address your concerns and consider your views a valuable contribution to peace; we are waiting for your confirmation and your contribution.” In a statement posted on their website, the FARC confirmed, they had asked the newly crowned Miss Universe to attend their peace negotiations, after reading about her desire to promote peace.

The security of my country and peace within our borders remains a very big concern for me, my family, and all Colombians.” She further adds, “That said, the main representative of Colombia is President Santos. If he and the Colombian Government think I can be of any help, I remain.
