BOGOTA， Nov. 24 (Xinhua)-- Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and the leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)， Rodrigo Londono， signed a revised peace agreement here on Thursday.

This came less than two months after a plebiscite narrowly rejected the original agreement， which took four years to negotiate.

In his speech， London apologized to the victims of the conflict in the name of the FARC， and hailed the new agreement as the common wish of all Colombians to end the war.

"Words are the only weapons that Colombians allow us to use，" said Londono， who called on the former enemies to co-exist despite their differences.

Santos said the revised agreement was the result of a rigorous discussion between the government and FARC， who had gathered for weeks in Havana， Cuba， to consider proposals to those who opposed the first peace agreement.

Santos stated that peace must be the most important topic for any nation and that Colombia should become an example in a world riven by conflicts.

"Building a country at peace is the most ambitious and transformational project that any generation has ever had the opportunity to fulfill. I cannot imagine a more noble， a more sublime task， a more elevated effort than protecting life and building peace，" he stated.

Unlike the previous agreement， this new deal will not be subject to a public vote but will have to be approved by Congress over the course of the next week.

Within 90 days after the approval， the FARC will begin to lay down arms. And within five months， all the weapons of the FARC will be in the hands of the UN.

RIO DE JANEIRO cheap nike air max plus , July 7 (Xinhua) -- Peru international striker Paolo Guerrero was officially unveiled as a Flamengo player on Tuesday and immediately vowed "to fight for a title" with his new club.

The former Bayern Munich forward was presented to local media more than six weeks after agreeing to join the Rio de Janeiro club from Corinthians.

His arrival comes days after he led Peru to third place in the Copa America in Chile, where he was the tournament's equal leading goalscorer with four goals.

"I'm very happy to be at a club of this size," the 31-year-old said. "I will give all that I've got for the team to improve and achieve something important."

Five-time Brazilian Serie A champions Flamengo are currently 15th in the league standings with just three wins from 10 matches.

Guerrero said the team could still salvage something from the season.

"I think we can fight for a title," Guerrero said. "We have a team that is good enough so I think it's possible. We have our goals and that's why we play the game."

"I know that Flamengo has a lot of history, not only in Brazil but internationally too. I've read the club has the biggest fan base in the world. It makes me proud to be part of it."

Guerrero is expected to make his Flamengo debut in Wednesday's match against Internacional in Porto Alegre.

KINGSTON cheap nike shox oz d , June 17 (Xinhua) -- Over 200 officials, business leaders, regional and international stakeholders have gathered in St. Lucia for a two-day forum to discuss ways of boosting growth in the Caribbean.

The 3rd Caribbean Growth Forum, which ended on Wednesday, was organized by the World Bank (WB) in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank and the Caribbean Development Bank cheap nike shox r4 , among other financial institutions.

It aimed to offer the Caribbean countries an opportunity to learn from others' experience, to propose new approaches to ignite growth, and to promote innovation and entrepreneurship throughout the region, according to the organizer.

St. Lucia's Prime Minister Kenny Anthony, addressing the opening ceremony cheap nike shox nz , described the economic development of the Caribbean as "anemic," pointing to the average growth of just 1.1 percent from 2008 to 2013.

Anthony urged his regional counterparts to make joint efforts to reach consensus and find solutions at the regional level.

"These economies may be broken, but I believe we can pick up the pieces. I believe that our historical task is to conceptualize, shape and define an economic model that meets the times and our needs," he said.

The prime minister's comment was echoed by Jorge Familiar Cheap Men's Nike Shox Gravity Luxe Green Strike , vice president of the World Bank for Latin America and the Caribbean, who stressed that in spite of great diversity, the Caribbean countries are facing many common challenges which require joint efforts.

"The Caribbean region is very diverse in its rich and varied cultures, languages, geographical settings Cheap Men's Nike Shox Gravity Gunsmoke ," he said. "Yet we are here together because despite these differences, many of these small economies are facing common challenges."

Familiar found that many Caribbean economies have been trapped in a "vicious cycle of low growth, high debt level and limited fiscal space" due to their small scale, poor productivity and an oil-dependent energy matrix.

"This combination makes it difficult for a country to build enough buffers that can be used in bad times. This decreases their capacity to face external shocks," he said.

In addition Cheap Men's Nike Shox Gravity Metallic Gold , the senior WB official said that the region is exposed to recurrent natural disasters, leaving small economies more vulnerable, as five out of the ten most disaster-prone countries in the world are Caribbean.

"Effectively tackling these issues requires efforts at the regional level, since effective solutions call for either risk pooling or economies of scale," he said.

Familiar said small economies have to choose what kind of industries to rely on to spur growth cheap nike shox gravity , calling on the Caribbean countries to take more proactive approaches when drafting growth strategies.

The Caribbean Growth Forum mechanism, launched in 2013, has led to the implementation of over 100 reforms around the region in improving business climate, boosting skills and productivity, and. Wholesale Jerseys   Wholesale Cheap Jerseys   Wholesale Cheap Jerseys   Wholesale Jerseys For Cheap   Wholesale NFL Jerseys China   Wholesale NCAA Jerseys From China   Wholesale Jerseys China Free Shippping   Cheap Jerseys China   Cheap Jerseys From China   Wholesale Nike Basketball Jerseys
