Presidents of El Salvador, Honduras to Discuss Espionage
The presidents of El Salvador and Honduras will meet in two weeks to clear up alleged spying activities by two Salvadorian diplomats in Honduras, Salvadorian Vice President Carlos Quintanilla said Monday.
Quintanilla, quoted by reports reaching here from El Salvador, said the place for the meeting has not been decided yet but said it could be in Guatemala.
The two Salvadorian diplomats, Alejandro Danilo Reyes, an assistant military attache, and Jose Marquina Vargas, a secretary, were arrested on August 14 in Tegucigalpa on espionage charges. They were accused of buying information from two Honduran women working in military offices.
Quintanilla said El Salvador will not apologize before things are clarified.
He added the governments of both countries have the capability to handle the situation through communication, understanding and a vision on the future the two countries want.
"We haven't released the proof yet to confirm accusations of espionage by the armed forces and the Honduran Foreign Ministry," he added.
Honduran authorities are expecting a Salvadorian high-level commission to arrive in Tegucigalpa to whom the espionage proof will be turned over, according to reports from Honduras.
The two Salvadorian diplomats later left Honduras, which said they were expulsed. But El Salvador said they were recalled for consultations.
