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.

Foreign Minister Prats to the summit in Mexico. He told
poloff that the Dominican Republic agrees with the U.S.
proposed texts on transparency, anti-corruption and
terrorism. However, he was hesitant to offer support for
setting specific dates for completion of actions to implement
the Quebec mandates (ref A), due to what he termed as
"internal bureaucratic difficulties." Ambassador Hernandez
asked whether the Venezuelan proposal to change language in
the Declaration of Margarita Island would be revisited (ref
B) and also expressed interest in proposed language about
poverty reduction. He also questioned why there is no
proposed declaration regarding the Free Trade Agreement of
the Americas. Ambassador Hernandez did not elaborate futher
on these topics.
