Colombian Senator Piedad Córdoba Thursday made a call to prevent Colombian President Álvaro Uribe's move to terminate President Chávez's mediation and her role as a facilitator in talks with the rebel FARC from fueling "a war."

"This needs to be addressed with a huge serenity, with calm, without making a war out of this. This is a very important and meaningful lesson," where she would continue to work, she told reporters upon leaving a hotel in Caracas in her way to meet with Chávez in the presidential palace of Miraflores.

"I am simply going to wait until I meet with President Chávez. He heard about the news only this morning too, I think. We are likely to make a statement," she added.

Córdoba thanked Uribe for the opportunity he gave her, AFP reported.

"The only thing I have to do is thank the government that gave me this huge opportunity," said Córdoba, a Senator opposed to Uribe's government.

She also thanked "President Chávez and the people, and I will never regret having worked with them."
