Oscar And Laura To
Meet With Hilary Clinton in
Costa Rica Today
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
arrived early this morning in Costa Rica to
meet the president Oscar Arias and
president-elect Laura Chinchilla, as well as
ministers from Latin America to discuss
economic and democracy issues.
Clinton flew in from Brazil where she faced
strong resistance to the US-led push for
sanctions against Iran over its disputed
nuclear program.
In San José she will sit down with female
entrepreneurs and will attend a Pathways to
Prosperity roundtable, a Bush-era initiative
involving 14 regional countries whose
foreign ministers meet to promote economic
development, democracy and women's rights.
The group includes six Central American
countries as well as Canada, Chile,
Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Mexico,
Peru, the United States and Uruguay.
This is the fifth stop in Clinton's
six-country Latin America tour, which she
completes Friday in Guatemala, where she
attends another meeting with regional
leaders. |
