TEGUCIGALPA, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Craig Kelly left Honduras on Wednesday without solving the political crisis in the country.

    Arriving in Honduras on Tuesday, Kelly tried to reinvigorate the dialogue between de facto President Roberto Micheletti and ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

    "We are moving forward on the dialogue; we think it is very important to continue ahead with the conversations," Kelly said.

    He added that the exit from the crisis for the Honduran people came from the solution of the Nov. 29 elections. "But we want to advance with the maximum support of the international community," he remarked.

    "It is important that both parties (Zelaya and Micheletti) continue advancing. We are here to support that process, and that is achieved with the Tegucigalpa-San Jose Agreement," Kelly said.

    On Thursday, Zelaya declared that the agreement had failed, and demanded to be restored to the presidency soon to lead a government of unity and reconciliation.

    According to the agreement, the Congress was empowered to decide whether to restore Zelaya to power. However, there was no deadline.
