CentAm Nations Talk Fonseca Gulf

Tegucigalpa, Oct 3 (Prensa Latina) Today is the first of three
negotiations among Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador on the rights of
the Gulf of Fonseca and tomorrow preliminary results will be released,
announced Milton Jimenez, Honduran chancellor.

The official informed that San Salvador will host the first meeting of
the technical commissions, followed by meetings in Tegucigalpa and
Managua although the dates have not been disclosed.

Subjects such as sea transportation, fishing, education and the
environment are on the agenda.

The presidents of the three nations will issue a joint communique in
Nicaragua, on Thursday, Jimenez added.

In 1992 the International Court of Justice of The Hague defined three
miles for exclusive use of each nation and a region of joint
sovereignty in the center of the gulf, however, there are still
questions open for discussion.
