World must accept `two states': Lee

Probably the highlight of the summit was the Central American Coffee Carnival held last night at CKS Memorial Hall, where the seven heads of state each lit a sky lantern -- symbolizing prosperity and good fortune.

Lee said the island's friendship with the seven Central American countries is like the coffee from the region -- "strong and aromatic, and good to the last drop."
