Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield reiterated strong U.S. support for anticorruption efforts in the hemisphere. She welcomed the work the UN and the Castro administration have done to explore the possibility of a UN-led anticorruption commission in Honduras. Ambassador Thomas-Greenfield noted the importance of maintaining momentum following the UN assessment team’s visit to Honduras in May and encouraged the UN and Honduras to move forward expeditiously with next steps.
