Resumen: Let A be a line arrangement in the complex projective plane CP2.We define and describe the inclusion map of the boundary manifold, the boundary of a closed regular neighbourhood of A, in the exterior of the arrangement. We obtain two explicit descriptions of the map induced on the fundamental groups. These computations provide a new minimal presentation of the fundamental group of the complement.
