Problems At
Airport Causes
Chinchilla To
Stand Up Ortega
Nicaragua's
president Daniel
Ortega was stood
up by Costa
Rica's
president-elect
Laura Chinchilla
when a problem
at the
Aeropuerto
Internacional de
El Salvador shut
down the
airport,
grounding
Chinchilla's
travel plans.
The meeting
between
Chinchilla and
Ortega was to
have taken place
at 4:30pm on
Tuesday.
The flight
carrying
Chinchilla and
her group from
Guatemala to
Managua, with a
stop in El
Salvador, was
returned to the
airport fifteen
minutes after
taking off after
an incident in
El Salvador
involving a
cargo plane shut
down the
airport.
The Nicaragua
stop in
Chinchilla's
Central American
tour was the
last on the
agenda, given
the tense
relations
between the two
neighbouring
countries and
differences of
opinion between
Ortega and Oscar
Arias.
Chinchilla said
she spoke
personally with
Nicaragua's
first lady,
Rosario Murillo,
explaining the
situation.
President-elect
Chinchilla is
expected to
travel to
Managua next
week as she
embarks on a
possible visit
to Panama and
Colombia. |
