Could you help me on this question?

Could you please tell me the difference between these two sentences?
1. The article began:'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.'
2. However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.
Why the writer uses "surrounds" in the first sentence, and uses "surrounded" in the second sentence. Are they all correct? Or there is a difference between them?
