BELIZE AND GUATEMALA TO RESUME TALKS, IN WASHINGTON

The governments of Belize and Guatemala agreed today to resume talks on their territorial dispute and, to that end, have agreed to meet at the Organization of American States, with the Secretary General serving as witness.

This will be a technical meeting, to be held next Tuesday, March 14. It is expected to deal with the agenda established for the meeting that had been planned for Miami and explore the possibility of adopting a number of confidence-building measures.
