In May 1997, former President [[Carlos Roberto Reina]] met with former US President [[Bill Clinton]] in Costa Rica, and the President of the [[Dominican Republic]] to reaffirm support for strengthening democracy, [[good governance]], and promoting prosperity through economic integration, free trade, and investment. The leaders also expressed their commitment to the continued development of just and equitable societies and responsible environmental policies as an integral element of sustainable development.

In Summer 2003 Honduras sent around 370 soldiers to Iraq as part of the [[United States|U.S.]] coalition of countries that were engaging in [[war]] in this country. Immediately after 21 April 2004 these troops were withdrawn by President [[Ricardo Maduro]] in the wake of a similar decision by [[Spain|Spanish]] prime minister [[José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero]]. Honduras joining the coalition was largely an attempt to improve foreign relations with the United States over the issue of the [[Human migration|migration]] of many thousands of Hondurans to the US. The money these migrants send back to their families in Honduras is a crucial factor in the Honduran economy, while any political strategy to help these migrants is a guaranteed vote winner.
