US embassy cable - 03GUATEMALA2253

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) On August 29, the Embassy relayed to the MFA reftel 
talking points regarding the September 3-4 CentAm 
Presidential Summit in Belize.  The MFA informed us that the 
GOG supports the Nicaraguan proposal, which reinforces the 
provisions of the 1995 Democratic Security Treaty of Central 
America.  The GOG sent its multilateral negotiating team to 
Belize on September 2 to participate in preliminary talks, 
and Foreign Minister Gutierrez and President Portillo are 
scheduled to depart for Belize on the afternoon of September 
3.  There was some doubt on August 29 whether the GOG would 
participate in the summit, following its decision to reject 
the findings of the OAS facilitators.  However, the MFA 
informed us on September 2 that President Portillo will 
participate in the summit.
