Emboff met September 6 with the Ministry's Summit Coordinator Felix Ulloa to underline the importance of Salvadoran support for the U.S. view that negotiation of the draft Declaration of the 2005 Summit of the Americas is proceeding too slowly and that the current draft is unfocused and inconsistent.
