  • Story Text: Ecuador's president-elect Lucio Gutierrez has met with
    his German counterpart Johannes Rau as part of a week-long
    Europe trip.

    Gutierrez was received at Berlin's Schloss Bellevue castle
    on Tuesday (December 17, 2002), the official residence of the
    German president.

    Gutierrez, his right hand in a cast after he slipped and
    fell more than four weeks ago, was asked by Rau whether the
    accident happened while he was skiing or while he was boxing.

    The Ecuadorian president-elect is expected to take office
    on January 15, 2003.

    Later today he was expected to meet with German parliament
    president Wolfgang Thierse. There was no meeting scheduled
    with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.

    According to an Ecuadorian embassy spokesman in Berlin,
    Gutierrez on Wednesday (December 17) will travel to Madrid and
    return to Quito on Friday.

    Gutierrez arrived in Germany on Monday (December 16) and
    has since met with Finance Minister Hans Eichel and German
    business representatives.
