Former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya has reached an agreement to return to Honduras after over a year in exile. On Sunday, Zelaya joined current Honduran President Porfirio Lobo in Colombia to formalize a deal for his return and pave the way for Honduras’s readmission to the Organization of American States. On his weekly television program, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez said the deal would include the main group that opposed the coup regime.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez: “We have been mediating, and there is a document to be signed, and it will soon be made public, where there are four points that President Zelaya requested through us, and they are included there. The first one is that President Manuel Zelaya, ousted by a coup, be allowed to return to his homeland, and I believe there is even a date, and that the National Resistance Party be recognized as a legal and legitimate political force in Honduras.”
