(SBU) Acting Political Counselor met January 25 with the Argentine
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Deputy Director for Eastern Europe,

that MFA Vice Minister Victorio Taccetti had met in December with
the Georgian MFA's Director for the Americas, Otar Berdzenishvili,
and was familiar with the concern about Ecuador's intentions (Note:
