Madonna meets with guerrilla-held hostage

Madonna has met with the President of Argentina and a former guerrilla-held hostage in the Argentine presidential palace.

The singer was in Buenos Aires on the Latin America leg of her 'Sticky & Sweet' world tour when she was invited to visit the palace where Evita was filmed.

During her meeting with President Cristina Fernandez, the star also had the opportunity to speak with Ingrid Betancourt, a former Colombian presidential candidate who was freed in July after being held captive in a jungle for six years by rebel anti-government guerrillas.

Betancourt was in the country to thank the government for freeing hundreds of hostages.

Madonna arrived in Buenos Aires with her children, 200 dancers, technicians and crew members to perform four concerts in the Argentinian capital.
