Washington - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that Costa Rican President Oscar Aris has agreed to lead the mediating effort to resolve the political crisis in Honduras. Clinton's announcement came after she met with ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, her first sit down with Zelaya since he was ousted in a military-backed coup June 28. "I reiterated to him that the United States supports the restoration of the democratic constitutional order in Honduras," Clinton told reporters. Clinton said Arias will host the talks in Costa Rica, and that the leader who replaced Zelaya, former speaker of the Congress Roberto Micheletti, has agreed to the negotiations.
