Honduras' post-coup leader Roberto Micheletti said on July 9 that he was willing to resume talks with ousted President Manuel Zelaya after a planned meeting between them failed to be held in Costa Rica.
Earlier on Thursday, Micheletti returned home from San Jose after a meeting with Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, who is acting as a mediator to help resolve the Honduran political crisis after the coup on June 28.
Micheletti said he would return for the talks "If necessary and if I am invited by President Arias."
After the meeting with Arias, Micheletti said Honduras' elections, scheduled for Nov. 29 to choose a new president, 128 deputies and 298 mayors, will be "transparent and safe" and will "consolidate" democracy in his country.
He said a negotiation commission had been formed, which will meet with the commission formed by Zelaya to continue talks.
