Mr. Deakins
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what stage the Contadora process in central America has now reached; and what further action Her Majesty's Government intend to take to help it to a successful conclusion.
Mr. Eggar
Contadora and Support Group Foreign Ministers recently expressed support for the Costa Rican peace proposals, as a means of restarting the Contadora negotiations, and for the summit of central American Presidents in Esquipulas, at which the proposals will be considered further. We and our European partners continue to urge all the countries of the region to persevere in their efforts to reach a negotiated solution.
