But Elrington will have to put on his game face in two weeks’ time.  That’s when he meets with his Guatemalan counterpart in Washington DC:…

Hon. Wilfred Elrington, Minister of Foreign Affairs
"I think we will be meeting again in Washington on the 21st of this month and I think that; I've just agreed to that to meet on the 21st and I think that in the interim we will start the preliminary negotiations on it I'm hoping. But the intention is to do the protocol, the mechanism so that we could live in peace. The intention really is to live in peace and to make sure that nobody dies. We want to make the Sarstoon safe for both our military and for our civilians while we are working out the mechanism our people will be able to go and come without death of hindrance; that is our understanding that was the context in which we were negotiating. I think the Foreign Minister of Guatemala suggested that he did not understand it in that light."
