LIMA, BUT NO AGREEMENT REACHED
REF: LIMA 415
1. Peruvian Foreign Minister Manuel Rodriguez hosted an
hour-long discussion between Colombian FonMin Carolina Barco
and Venezuelan FonMin Ali Rodriguez on 1/27, aimed at
advancing a rapprochement between Colombia and Venezuela.
Barco and Ali Rodriguez were in Lima to attend a meeting
between Andean FonMins and visiting Chinese Vice President
Zeng Quinhong (to be reported Septel).
2. The Peruvian Foreign Ministry issued a communique 1/27,
which stated that, "both Foreign Ministers showed a
constructive and positive disposition to find a quick and
mutually satisfactory solution to the problem." Peruvian
FonMin Rodriguez said that he would leave it to his Colombian
and Venezuelan counterparts to discuss the specifics of the
meeting, adding, "What I can state is my conviction that the
relations between the two countries will be normalized,
because that is something that all members of the Andean
Community will appreciate with great satisfaction."
3. At the conclusion of the meeting both Barco and Ali
Rodriguez told a waiting press that there would be no/no
joint communique resulting from the meeting. Barco added
that the talks between the two countries are "advancing," and
characterized the discussion as "very constructive." "The
balance is positive," she concluded, "but we have to continue
forward." Following a meeting of Andean Foreign Ministers
earlier that day, Barco had responded to a journalist's
question by stressing that Colombia would not/not issue an
apology to Venezuela over the Granda affair.
4. COMMENT: Embassy is seeking a fuller readout on the
Barco-Ali Rodriguez talks from the Foreign Ministry. END
