Victor Rico, the secretary of political affairs at the Organisation of American States, said an agreement had been reached to leave an opening for the reinstatement of Zelaya – ousted in a military coup in June – by creating a power-sharing government.
He did not reveal the text of the agreement, but called it “a beneficial accord for Honduras and Honduran democracy”.
