There’s also been a reset with the PUP in the bi-partisan negotiations on the Belize Guatemala issue.  Two PUP Representatives, Senator Eamon Courtenay and Area Rep. Oscar Requeña accompanied the Belize delegation on their recent trip to the OAS in Washington DC.  

Now, Minister Elrington and Senator Courtney have had very public and private disagreements in court, and, here, in the court of public opinion.  So, how did they get along in DC?  Elrington said it was civil

Jules Vasquez
"Were you all cordial in Washington DC. I know he and Oscar Requena travelled along with the Belize contingent. I know you and Mr. Courtenay have a number of public and private issued in the court and in the court of public opinion."

Hon. Wilfred Elrington - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Belize
"You know we have a reputation for being the consummate diplomat and gentlemen so we don't have a problem with that. We know how to behave civil so we were, I would like to think were consummate host to both Mr. Courtenay and Mr. Requena and I think that they might have been sorry to have had to part ways with us to have to come back early because of course. Now on a serious note we are always very cordial, very pleasant, very mature in dealing with the business of the people of this nation."
