me and tocceptable to our colombians. we said that we would break this trend, this perverse trend that we had for so many years why are , butereby the economy grew so did inequality. the rich became richer and the poor became poorer. he put in place specific actions only broke this trend. that inlso proudly say the last three years, columbia has lowered its inequality more than any other country except for ecuador. ecuador performed better than we did. but we are not any more than number two in the hemisphere. we are not on the average. of course, we still have tremendous inequalities. we still have almost 2 million people unemployed. of course, we still have about 30% of colombians living in poverty. but the progress has been tremendous. i hope that if we reach a peace agreement, then we can concentrate on even more of our resources achieving a better indicators and more progress in that respect. in our international relations, we have also decided to change the way that we are doing things. when i arrived at the governm

colombian democracy needed this anyway. progress in strengthening our democracy and the progress of our people in the democratic process. we have reached agreement on those two points. at this very moment, we are negotiating a third item which is drug trafficking. i put this item on the agenda deliberately. there is one very simple reason. they have already said that they are not drug traffickers. they profit from it, but they are not drug traffickers. if that is so, and if you want to become legal, then you have to become allies of the state against drug trafficking. if we succeed in the objective which has argued been agreed -- which has already been agreed upon by the two parts -- columbia -- colombia without coca --just think what that would mean to colombia, and the u.s. colombia has been the major exporter of cocaine for the last 40 years. can you imagine what that would mean if there is change and something disrupts the flow of cocaine to american cities and the region? it would be a major breakthrough. that is extre
