Pope meets with Colombia's Santos, Uribe

(ANSA) - Vatican City, December 16 - Pope Francis met Friday with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and former president Alvaro Uribe for about 25 minutes, the Vatican press office said.
    Santos gave the pope a pen made from a shell casing, which was used to sign a November, 2016 peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrilla movement, putting an end to decades of violence.
    "The bullet is inscribed with the words 'bullets have been our past, peace is our future'," the Colombian leader told Francis.
