REGION: Chinchilla urges regional integration
This week, Costa Rica's president-elect Laura Chinchilla visited El
Salvador and Guatemala as part of a regional tour aimed at boosting Central
American integration. Her objectives were twofold: securing recognition of the
Honduran government of President Porfirio Lobo, no doubt motivated in part by
trade concerns such as the bloc-to-bloc Association Agreement with the European
Union (EU); and reaching a consensus over combating drug-trafficking, prompted
by domestic concerns over spiralling crime.
