Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega Talks Going to Havana, Cuba for FARC and Colombia Peace Talks
Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega has agreed to assist the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia in peace talks with the government after seeing an invitation from the guerrilla group.
"I remain ready and willing to assist in any and all areas that will help promote further peace, stability and progress," Vega responded to FARC's invitation in a statement to Fox News Latino. "The security of my country and peace within our borders remains a very big concern for me, my family, and all Colombians."
Vega also vowed to go around the world and "act as an ambassador for my country, promoting Colombian culture and all of the opportunities that it has to offer" during her reign as Miss Universe.
"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 ready," Vega's statement said.
It is not yet clear if a reigning Miss Universe pageant's guidelines would allow the 22-year-old Colombian beauty to visit Havana, Cuba for the Colombia peace talks.
The Peace Delegation of FARC wrote a letter to Vega on its website, inviting her to assist with Colombian peace talks on Friday.
"We read with interest about your desire to contribute with your good offices to peace and reconciliation of the Colombian people," the letter read. "We welcome your willingness to travel to Havana and we invite you to materialize your visit to update you about the development of the peace talks, the progress and the enormous contribution that you and the majorities who desire peace can make. 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."
Vega previously expressed how much she wants peace for Colombia during her journey to become Miss Universe.
