(Xinhua) -- Madagascan transitional president Andry Rajoelina said Monday afternoon that he would not go to Maputo, the Mozambican capital city, for negotiations scheduled for Thursday and Friday.

Speaking at a press conference at the presidency, the Madagascan transitional president said that it is shameful to go abroad to settle a disagreement about some ministerial posts.

"It is shameful and expensive to go abroad," said Rajoelina, 35, the former mayor of the capital city.

He proposed a video conference between him and his predecessors, namely Marc Ravalomanana, Didier Ratsiraka and Albert Zafy.

Referring to his enquiry, Rajoelina said that holding a video conference between the four protagonists is not expensive instead of spending a lot of money to travel to Maputo.

He said that he has made many concessions by agreeing what his predecessors asked during the meetings Maputo and in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

He called on Ravalomanana, Ratsiraka and Zafy to keep the best interests of the nation instead of haggling over the appointment of ministers.

Rajoelina said on Friday during his provincial tour in Morondava, a coastal town about 700 km west of Antananarivo, that he would not go abroad for the meeting between the four stakeholders.
