Representatives of the El Salvador government and left-wing FMLN guerrillas will meet U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar in Geneva on Wednesday in a bid to restart peace talks, the United Nations announced. The last effort to end a decade-long civil war between the government and the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) broke down late last year, shortly before the rebels launched a November offensive. The announcement did not name the participants in the talks or say how long they would last.
