The Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebels announced Saturday that they reached an agreement to remove landmines from the battlefields during their peace talks in Havana.

The announcement came at the latest round of peace talks that began in Cuba's capital since November 2012, with the support of Cuba and Norway, and the "accompaniment" of Chile and Venezuela.

In previous talks, the two sides have reached agreements on issues of drugs, agrarian reform and the political participation of the rebels.

Colombia, the South American country, is one of the most mined regions in the world, due to the five-decade-conflict between the government and the rebels.
