President of Honduras will not attend the Summit of the Americas
By Elvin Sandoval
The president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, will not attend the Summit of the Americas that takes place in the city of Los Angeles, California, as confirmed to CNN by the communication team of the Presidential House.
On behalf of Castro, a delegation headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Enrique Reina, and the private secretary of the Presidency, HĂ©ctor Zelaya, who is Castro's son, will attend.
On May 28, Castro posted on his Twitter account that he would attend the Summit only if "all the countries of the Americas, without exception," were invited.
A senior US official confirmed to CNN on Monday that the governments of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela will not be invited to the summit based on the lack of democratic spaces and the human rights situation in those countries.
The organizing countries have wide discretion to decide who they invite, the official said.
Various sectors in Honduras view Castro's non-attendance at the Summit with concern, taking into account the relationship he established months before assuming the presidency with the United States government and which was strengthened by the visit during his inauguration, the January 27, from Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Honduran presidential appointee, Salvador Nasralla, said on Twitter this Sunday that Castro's "political decision" not to attend the Summit "is an opportunity that the country is losing."
