Panamanian Officials In Belize To Observe
Thu, November 27, 2014
And Elrington also has to explain the same issue to three visiting Panamanian Officials who are here from that country's ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He told us what they are here to look for:..

Hon. Wilfred Elrington, Minister of Foreign Affairs
"Three officials from the Panamanian government came into the country I think it was day before yesterday on Avianca. I had been informed by the Vice President and Foreign Minister of Panama, that she was intending to send them to see, in fact, into the details of what had transpired here with the death of the Charge D' Affairs. It's a courtesy which we accorded to them, we have been doing the same thing with the Guatemalan government. They have had officials come over when they had a death of one of their citizens, so they came in and I had a meeting with them yesterday morning at about 10am. It was a very nice meeting. There were three males along with the person who heads the office now. One was from the diplomatic corps, the other two were police officers and basically what they wanted was to be allowed to meet with our police personnel who were responsible for the investigation and for them to give them details of the information which they had collected. I spoke our Minister of National Security, Minister Salvidar, who readily consented to their request. I also spoke to Assistant Commissioner Lino, who was the point man, Mr. Blackett was out if the country and he also are being readily to accommodate them. They also wanted to have a person from the protocol office here in Belize accompany them and to facilitate their activities here. We readily agree to that - provide them with a protocol officer and a vehicle."

And while the solving of the murder is somewhat up in the air, there will be a requiem mass for Rodrigo De La Rosa for tomorrow at 9:00 am at the Divine Mercy church. Elrington says he will attend:..

Hon. Wilfred Elrington, Minister of Foreign Affairs
"I would certainly attend the mass. I am sure other members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will attend as well. I am not sure who else from the government will attend, I will attend, I am sure other staff members from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will attend."
