Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has postponed the reception of credentials of the new US ambassador to show solidarity with Bolivia.
“We believe that … in the defense of the principles of solidarity of countries, we should be supportive with Bolivia’s current problem and present a protest voice to the nations of the world,” Zelaya told a news conference.
A conflict in Bolivia between backers of President Evo Morales and anti-government protesters sparked a tit-for-tat diplomatic row; also involving Venezuela, after Morales on Wednesday ordered the US ambassador to La Paz to leave, accusing him of contributing to divisions in the country.
