Colombia's Farc militia has tried talking to the Colombian government for two years. Now they are getting creative and inviting the new Miss Universe to help, the BBC reports.

During Paulina Vega's quest to become Miss Universe, she expressed wanting peace in Colombia.

She said after being crowned she was willing to travel to Havana to reach a peace deal.

Farc must have heard that speech because they wrote a letter to Vega "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," The Guardian reports.

Farc first rebelled against the government in 1964. Farc has been fighting the Colombian government since.

Negotiations between Farc and the Colombian government have been ongoing since 2012. The two have been able to partially agree on about half of the points needed to end the ongoing armed fights.

The 50-year conflict has left more than 200,000 dead and almost 6 million displaced from their homes.

Farc said they welcome Vega to help with peace talks.

"We invite you to materialise your visit to update you about the development of the peace talks," Farc said via statement.

Farc made a formal invitation to Vega, according to the New York Daily News.

"We have read with interest your desire to contribute with your good works to reaching peace. We salute your willingness to travel to Havana, at this time we invite you to make a visit."

Vega has not responded to the invitation yet, but it would be remarkable if she was able to end the long struggle and help promote peace in her native country.
