 I gotta go out the airplane get another battery this one not very good I got a couple shots. I got a couple shots. Okay, listen, I got a couple shots in one go. They're going to take care of it. Our land in the moment when the democratic cement makes our fields bloom with a new hope for peace, justice and freedom. In that sense I expressed to President Reagan that his presence in Honduras is happening in the moment when the tree of the democratic institutionality is threatened by a serious economic crisis and by growing social expectations. This historic visit is carried out in a dramatic time in which Central America seeks to find the lost balance and restore the terms of regional security. In this context, the presence in our country of President Reagan means the most clear and decisive support to our democratic process, to our institutionality, to our efforts for economic and social development and to our permanent delivery to the cause of peace between the nations. With the governor of the United States of America, we have maintained this day conversations inspired by our best purposes for a destination of integral progress for Honduras and a climate of peaceful coexistence based on mutual respect between the states of Central America. The spirit of cordiality and frankness that has guided our conversations constitutes the testimony of the fraternal bonds of friendship that unite our two countries and that have to be increased in the present and in the future in a common action of cooperation without reticence and authentic support for the Vigencia de nuestras instituciones democráticas esperanza. Desde mi visita a la Casa Blanca hace un poco más de cuatro meses se han producido acontecimientos de importancia y de la cooperación para el desarrollo tal como se lo he expresado al Presidente Reagan el día de hoy. Dero de consolidación pero que mientras ellos suceden se han incrementado las amenazas a nuestras instituciones representativas a nuestra democracia como sistema de vida y como sistema de gobierno. A esa finalidad por cuanto es en un clima de estabilidad política sólida y duradera que se pueden emprender acciones crecientes en el campo del desarrollo económico y social. Fácilmente aprovechables por quienes propongan por la violencia y la anarquía como método desesperados para alcanzar objetivos políticos en detrimento de nuestro régimen constitucional y democrático y como un grave peligro para nuestra estabilidad política para seguridad regional y para la solución pacífica los problemes en ir alcanzando progresivamente soluciones a mediano y largo plazo para lo cual debemos contar con la decidida colaboración de las naciones amigas que como los Estados Unidos de América se identifican con nosotros en los ideales de la democracia la paz y la cooperación para el desarrollo. El presidente Reagan ha compartido conmigo hemos compartido plenamente de que una política en favor de la paz debe fortalecerse como el medio más adecuado para transitar con firmeza por los caminos del progreso sobre la base de principios fundamentales como el de respeto mutuo entre los estados el de no intervención y el de auto determinación de los pueblos. El presidente Reagan me ha reiterado su apoyo a nuestra luchas en favor de la paz a nuestra propuesta de paz para Centroamérica que como lo he conversado con él esta tarde mi gobierno se encuentra en la determinación de seguir la impulsando con tesonero esfuerzo y con el convencimiento de que se trata de una iniciativa de carácter global y regional que conlleva en la búsqueda de soluciones apropiadas el tratamiento de problemas internos bilaterales y multilaterales en el espíritu fraternal de nuestras conversaciones le he patentizado al presidente Reagan que Honduras se siente honrada al recibirlo por todos los altos y positivos valores que los estados unidos de América representan y que él como gobernante de ese gran país tan fielmente interpreta. Por ello esta ocasión ha sido propicia para que en tan asiagos momentos como lo hemos con presidente deseo bocar una vez más mi fructífira visita a Washington en julio pasado atendiendo su gentil invitación para reiterarle que nosotros aquí en Honduras también estamos construyendo una republica con hondas raíces históricas digna de nuestro presente y nuestro futuro como lo hicieron ustedes hace más de dos siglos y que lo importante ahora lo que deseamos fervorosamente es conservar la Presidente Suazo and I have just concluded a very useful exchange of ideas on the full range of bilateral issues and regional problems that confront our two democracies. In this our second meeting this year we have continued the close consultation that we began in Washington last July. This has given our dialogue continuity and enabled us to analyze these problems in greater detail. I have expressed my administration support and my nation's admiration for President Suazo's efforts to ensure for the Honduran people the benefits of a democratic government elected on the principles of the rule of law. President Suazo has made it clear to me that there will be no retreat from that noble principle. We are in agreement that we must work together to oppose those who seek to disrupt the promise of economic progress and political stability that is the legacy of peace in the Americas. My administration is convinced that through cooperation and solidarity our governments can protect our democratic institutions and free market economic systems from the counterfeit revolutionaries who seek to destroy growth and impose totalitarianism on free people. We will cooperate in every way we can with Honduras and the other democratic governments of Central America to further our common objectives. It's a pleasure to be here and our only regret is that it has to be such a very short visit. But again we are grateful to the President, the people of Honduras for giving us this opportunity to visit with them. The United States of America, Ronald Reagan. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the Republic of Guatemala, Efraín Rios Mont and the President of the United States of America. Ladies and gentlemen, President Rios Mont and I have just had a useful exchange of ideas in the problems of the region and on our bilateral relations. Our conversation today has done much to improve the climate of relations between our two governments. I know that President Rios Mont is a man of great personal integrity and commitment. His country is confronting a brutal challenge from guerrillas armed and supported by others outside Guatemala. I have assured the President that the United States is committed to support his efforts to restore democracy and to address the root causes of this violent insurgency. I know he wants to improve the quality of life for all Guatemalans and to promote social justice. My administration will do all it can to support his progressive efforts. We have heard a great presentation and as I said in the first day of my visit far south of here in Brasilia, people from my country, government officials of my country in the past, have come to South and Central America to various countries proposing plans and ideas of their own. I know they were sincere and yet I think there was a certain insensitivity connected with what they were doing. I said from the first day and until this our last stop on this visit that we came here to ask, not tell. We have come here to find out and to learn what we can about the possible differences between us and the possible answers to those differences. And we know now a great deal more about the problems confronting Guatemala. And we are going home and do our best to see if we can't be helpful now in finding some answers to the problems. And I will now turn the microphone over to President Rijos Mons. Attending the invitation of Mr. President Riga, I have come to San Pedro Sula and for 45 minutes within a framework of fraternity, friendship and adherence to the principles of international law and to his faithful and respectful commitment, we have discussed with him. Within the Cordial Dialogue, I have manifested to Mr. President the problems facing Guatemala and I have requested his understanding so that he can help us understand them and resolve them with the security that all Guatemalans are looking for our identity without egoism, without indifference and without ambition. I want to point out that I have come to this meeting with the security that this dialogue would contribute without the wait for disloyal solutions so that we can be better understood, so that the face of Guatemala is known and so that the truth impairs on lies. We agree with Mr. President Riga on the need to seek democratization and to keep it. As the only way for our peoples to arrive at the complete happiness, but this democratization must be understood as the absolute form of respect between all citizens without groups or people abusing their position corrupting the people, teaching them or depriving them of their own freedoms. In this, I have given to Mr. President Riga a complete relationship of the facts that the army of Guatemala motivated to decide the takeover of power on March 23. And the ethical guidelines that my government has imposed on not lying, of not stealing and of not abusing to depure Guatemala, which unfortunately fell vertically in a regime of deception, corruption and injustice. We have pointed to Mr. President Riga on what Guatemala is, what Guatemala is like, and what we all hope for in our country. And we feel satisfied with the concern that has been shown by our destiny. With full security, respecting our independence, our sovereignty, our history and our annals, the United States will provide its best cooperation so that our peoples can advance in the field of democracy and prosperity. We have received with full compliance the demonstration of Mr. President Riga, the desire to work together as partners to achieve the dreams that we share and strengthen democratic resources, to promote the sacred cause of peace and to stimulate a new growth and economic opportunities in the region. Thank you.
