Honduran President-Elect To Travel Oversea
To Mend Ties
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduran president-elect
Porfirio Lobo Sosa said on Monday that he
will travel to Costa Rica and Dominican
Republic to help "normalize" ties with
countries in Central America.
"Tomorrow (Tuesday) we are going to Costa
Rica and on Thursday we are traveling to
Dominican Republic," he told the press.
Lobo said that in Costa Rica, he and his
delegation will meet with President Oscar
Arias, describing Arias as a man with rich
experience who will help Honduras open the
door at international stage.
In Dominican Republic they will meet with
Dominican President Leonel Fernandez.
Lobo also said that Panamanian President
Ricardo Martinelli will arrive in Honduran
capital Tegucigalpa on Wednesday.
The flurry of diplomacy came when many
countries neither recognized the current de
facto government nor Lobo's triumph in the
controversial election, as they consider the
presidential race illegal.
Since the elections on Nov. 29, Lobo has met
with representatives from Honduras'
different social sectors in the hope to form
a government of national unity.
Three former presidential candidates --
Elvin Santos of the Liberal Party, Bernard
Martinez of the Innovation and Unity Party
and Felicito Avila of the Christian
Democracy Party -- will accompany Lobo
during these trips.
