President Porfirio Lobo is scheduled to meet in private today with United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Guatemala City to discuss bilateral relations between the US and Honduras, the process of re-integrating Honduras into the international community, and the restart of US assistance programs to the country. Secretary Clinton will be in Guatemala to participate in a summit with the presidents of Central America. The main issues on the agenda include the strengthening of regional cooperation and combating illegal drug trafficking. According to President Lobo's private secretary, Reynaldo Sánchez, the Lobo-Clinton meeting will take place after the conclusion of the summit.
