OAS Advance
Party Arrives In Honduras
Tegucigalpa - An advance
party representing the Organization of
American States arrived on Friday in
Honduras' capital, Tegucigalpa, to open
discussions and prepare for a later planned
visit by OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza due Oct.7
"We are very happy to be here in Honduras,"
said Victor Rico, the delegation's
spokesman. "We have come with the best of
intentions to collaborate, to support the
construction of a positive dialogue for
Honduras," he said.
The committee has the same membership as the
one that was halted at Tegucigalpa's
international airport, Toncontin. It will
now meet up with John Biehl, the advisor to
OAS secretary general in Uruguay.
"The idea is to continue the process which
had begun: to continue dialogue," Rico told
media. This committee will draft the agenda
for the foreign ministers who will visit
next week.
Next week's visit will be the second by
foreign ministers to Honduras. During the
first, on Aug. 24, ministers failed to
achieve their goal after meeting with the
nation's legislature, judiciary and
executive.
In August, the committee's members were
Argentina's Jorge Taiana; Canada's Peter
Kenneth, Costa Rica's Bruno Stagno,
Jamaica's Kenneth Baugh, Mexico's Patricia
Espinoza, and Panama's Juan Carlos Varela. |
