Colombia needs international money to fund peace deal: finance minister
Colombia will need "significant" investment from the international community to pay for the historic peace deal promised within six months between Marxist guerrillas and the government, the country's finance minister said in an interview on Saturday.
This week Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, pledged to end a war that has killed 220,000 and displaced millions over half a century.
"Peace is closer to us now than it has ever been in five decades," said Finance Minister Mauricio Cardenas. "But there will be costs." He said the government would be coming up with an estimate of how much reconstruction could cost also within six months.

Colombia, FARC rebels vow to end 50-year war within six months
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and the top FARC rebel commander pledged on Wednesday to end their 50-year war within the next six months, sealing their pact with a handshake likely to stand as a lasting image in the South American nation.
Santos and FARC rebel leader Rodrigo Londono, better known by the nom de guerre Timochenko, also agreed the leftist guerrillas would lay down arms within 60 days of signing the deal, which now has an official deadline of March 23, 2016.
If successful, it would end a conflict that has killed 220,000 and displaced millions over half a century.
