On his official visit to the United States, President Leonel Fernandez showed up on time, sometimes even early, to most of his scheduled meetings in Washington, DC. The President did arrive late to a meeting with IMF president Rodrigo Rato. Listin Diario reports that the meeting was scheduled for 2:30 last Tuesday, and President Fernandez showed up 10 minutes late for the meeting, leaving Rato waiting in the hallway. The President was on time for the rest of his meetings and successfully completed his trip to the United States. Fernandez's punctual arrivals made the news because the President has a reputation for being late for meetings in his own country. The President made a stopover in Coral Gables, Florida on Friday to receive the "Bravo Award" from Latin Trade magazine, making him the first leader to have won the award twice, and then returned to the country on Sunday, two hours before his scheduled arrival time of 5pm.
