Brasília, 3/3/2004 (Agência Brasil - ABr) - During a telephone conversation yesterday, president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told George W. Bush of the United States that Brazil is willing to send troops to Haiti as part of a UN peace force. However, the troops would only be sent after a political solution is reached and reconstruction begins, explains presidential spokesman, Andre Singer. "Brazil is willing to participate in the UN force but only in a second phase," he said. (AB)
