Farc invites Miss Universe to assist in negotiation of peace deal with Colombia

Leftist Farc rebels, from Pauline Vega’s native Colombia, want her to visit them in Havana, where they are trying to negotiate a peace deal with the Colombian government.

In a brief letter, Farc leaders invited the beauty queen to Havana “to inform (her) about the development of the negotiation process, its progress and the contributions that you and the great majorities who wish for peace can offer”.

Vega, a 22-year-old model and student of business administration who was named Miss Universe on 25 January at a pageant in Florida, said in a post-crowning interview she would be “willing to go to Havana so that a peace deal can be signed”.

Taking her up on her offer, Farc said they were willing to “address her questions and esteem her opinions as a valuable contribution toward peace”.

Good luck to her, if she decides to reply. Though I wonder if this means beauty contestants will mention 'world peace' a little less from now on, if they're going to be asked to get stuck in.
