The undersecretary of Foreign Affairs, Lourdes Aranda Bezaury, said in the event that the deposed president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, requested asylum in Mexico, the government of Mexico would consider it. In a press conference, he clarified that the chancellor of Honduras, Patrician Stems, did not ask asylum or refuge to Mexico.

The official of the Office of the secretary of Foreign Affairs (SRE) added that "Mexico will continue seeking that be by means of the dialogue and the coordination, and not traveling through actions of violence, like this theme can be resolved".

In the meantime he assured that Mexico will continue [follow?] closely the resolution adopted by the OAS in which the right of Honduras is suspended to participate in this regional agency.

Aranda Bezaury said that is a priority for Mexico that the facts in Honduras do not result in more acts of violence, and regretted what happened last Sunday. It emphasized that the country will continue working in multilateral mechanisms and also through the Grupo de Río to reach a negotiated solution to the problem.
