The government commented hours after the junta’s foreign minister, Carlos Lopez, told Bogota’s La FM radio about the meeting and said that Uribe expressed “sympathy” for the Honduran regime headed by erstwhile Congress speaker Roberto Micheletti.
“In the framework of the process of facilitation for the Honduras situation, led by the president of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias, a Honduran commission was received informally,” the Colombian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
