US embassy cable - 05ASUNCION1076

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

On 8/23,  MFA's Director of Mulitlateral Affairs Amb. Mario 
Sandoval assured Polcoun that Paraguay and other countries 
shared our views.  During a recent Rio Group meeting, the 
Venezuelans had insisted the Group announce a joint decision 
to convene a meeting to discuss Venezuala's proposal on the 
Social Charter.  According to Sandoval, Brazil, Chile, 
Colombia, and others rejected this approach suggesting 
Venezuala organize a meeting on its own if it wanted to open 
a discussion of the Venezuelan proposal.  Sandoval said that 
Paraguay had no intention of sending a senior official to the 
Venezuelan meeting.  Instead, Paraguay would send its 
Ambassador to the OAS and a working level representative from 
the Ministry of Social Affairs.  Sandoval assured Polcoun 
Paraguay had problems not only with Venezuela's approach but 
also its draft.  Paraguay looked forward to considering a 
more balanced draft prepared by the General Secretariat.
