President of Taiwan will go to Belize instead

The president of Taiwan, Ma Ying-jeou, has chosen Belize as destination instead of Honduras, as planned from the beginning, during his trip to Central America.

In a press release from the Taiwanese Foreign Ministry was informed that the decision not to come to Honduras is because the country will hold the 39th Assembly of the OAS.

President Ma will also visite El Salvador, where he will attend the inauguration of President-elect, Mauricio Funes.

Taiwan announced the suspension last week of the investment of the Taiwan Power Company in Patuca III hydroelectric project, estimated at 300 million dollars.

The Taiwanese Foreign Ministry clarified that the suspension of the trip had no connection with the decision of the Taiwan Power Company.

It was reported that President Ma will come to Honduras on a second trip planned for next July, when attending the inauguration of the president of Panama, Roberto Martinelli.
