Government representatives from Central America and Mexico have agreed to begin moving Cubans stranded in Costa Rica northward again on February 4th.

Representatives from Costa Rica, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama and Mexico met Wednesday in Guatemala City to evaluate the initial movement of 180 Cubans on Jan. 12. Those Cubans were flown to El Salvador and then moved north by bus to Mexico's southern border.
