No Room For Honduras
In Latin American Summit
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduran President Porfirio
Lobo, who assumed power through an election
in the coup-hit country, has not been
invited to the second Summit of Latin
America and the Caribbean, says Mexico, the
summit organizer.
Mexico, which will host the event on
February 22-23, said the Honduran government
would not attend the summit as it should
first be recognized by the Organization of
the American States (OAS).
Lobo seized power in a presidential poll,
organized to end a crisis in Honduras
emanating from a military coup that removed
the constitutional President Manuel Zelaya.
Many countries across the continent rejected
Zelaya's ouster and the election that was
meant to find a substitute for him.
The second Summit of Latin America and the
Caribbean, which will begin in the Mexican
city of Cancun on Monday, is going to bring
together heads of states and governments of
more than 24 countries of the region.
It will focus on achieving a common stance
on the main international problems and the
issues of economic integration of Latin
American and Caribbean nations.
The Summit will also have in its main sphere
of attention the crisis in Haiti, tension in
the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands and the
aftermath of the coup in Honduras.
