TEGUCIGALPA, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Craig Kelly arrived in Honduras on Tuesday in a bid to help end the country's political stalemate.

    During the trip, Kelly aims to revive the Tegucigalpa-San Jose Agreement signed by the Honduran de facto government and ousted President Manuel Zelaya. According to the agreement, the two sides would form a unity government by Nov. 5 and the National Congress would decide to restore Zelaya to the presidency.

    Zelaya declared the agreement a failure last week after de facto President Roberto Micheletti announced the formation of a unity government without the participation of Zelaya, who refused to name any cabinet members and slammed the National Congress for delaying the vote on his restoration.

    Rene Zepeda, a spokesman for the interim government, told media that Kelly would meet with Micheletti.

    Kelly will also meet with Zelaya, who has been staying in the Brazilian embassy as a special guest of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva since Sept. 21.

    The Honduran political crisis was ignited by a military-backed coup, in which Zelaya was deposed and flown to Costa Rica on June 28.

    Honduras is scheduled to hold presidential elections on Nov. 29. The international community has called for a restitution of Zelaya before the election.
