Guatemala City: Central American countries on Monday agreed a breakthrough in the case of thousands of US-bound Cuban migrants stranded in Costa Rica, after weeks of often acrimonious regional diplomacy.

In a meeting in Guatemala City, representatives from several of the countries said they would fly out some of the Cubans to El Salvador, where they would be put on buses to cross Guatemala and enter Mexico.
