OAS Says Foreign Ministers for Belize and Guatemala To Meet Next Week Oct 20, 2012

 

The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Belize and Guatemala will meet on Monday in Guatemala City. 

The announcement was made yesterday by the Organization of American States. 

According to a brief statement posted on the OAS website, Wilfred Elrington and Harold Caballeros will meet on Monday in the context of the group of Friends of Belize-Guatemala.  No details of what will be discussed at the meeting have been announced, except that it will be attended by OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza. 

The OAS statement also addressed an issue that has been much talked about in Guatemala, that of a meeting between the president of Guatemala and Prime Minister Dean Barrow. As Love News has reported previously, Prime Minister Barrow is on record as saying that he had no knowledge of a scheduled meeting with the Guatemalan president. 

The OAS statement says that Secretary General Insulza is always available to attend meetings involving Belize and Guatemala at the request of the respective governments, even to the point of postponement of commitments to facilitate such meetings.  It appears that special interests in Guatemala are pushing for the meeting of the two leaders; but as confirmed to Love News, Prime Minister Dean Barrow is not aware of any pending meeting with Guatemala.
