(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.
