    SUBJECT: FOREIGN MINISTER TAIANA DECIPHERS ARGENTINA FOR
    NEW AMBASSADOR

    Classified By: Amb. Vilma Martinez for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).

    ¶1. (C) Summary: Ambassador Martinez presented copies of her
    credentials on September 18, the day of her arrival in
    country, to Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana.  A friendly and
    expansive Taiana emphasized the high priority the Government
    of Argentina (GOA) placed on securing a meeting for President
    Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK) with President Obama, saying that
    there would be a cost to the relationship if such a meeting
    were delayed much longer.  Ambassador Martinez encouraged the
    Foreign Minister to ensure that Argentina raised its voice in
    opposition to Iran's nuclear ambitions and asked him to
    consider more of a leadership role for Argentina in defending
    human rights and democratic values abroad, including in
    Bolivia, Venezuela, and Cuba.  End Summary.

    ¶2. (U) Ambassador Martinez met one-on-one with Foreign
    Minister Jorge Taiana the afternoon of September 18 to
    present a copy of her letter of credentials.  The friendly
    meeting lasted for 75 minutes, more than twice as long as
    Taiana usually takes for such meetings.  The Foreign Ministry
    had previously requested that Ambassador Martinez move
    forward her arrival in country by one day to facilitate the
    meeting (prior to Taiana's travel to the UNGA), a request
    meant to signal the importance the Government of Argentina
    attaches to improved bilateral relations.

    ¶3. (C) The Foreign Minister spent much of the meeting talking
    about Argentina's history and trying to introduce the
    Ambassador to peculiarities of the Argentine psyche.  He
    shared the oft-noted claim that Buenos Aires has more
    psycho-analysts per capita than any other city in the world.
    Apparently further suggesting collective neurosis, he also
    related that when in Washington he had always had to catch
    Woody Allen movies at small theaters, while in Buenos Aires
    Allen's movies were premiered in the best venues.

    ¶4. (C) Turning serious, Taiana stressed that the time has
    come for Presidents Fernandez de Kirchner and Obama to meet.
    He told the Ambassador that ""if the United States doesn't
    cultivate her, others will.""  He said that the prolonged
    failure to arrange a meeting had been an embarrassment for
    CFK, with her opponents mocking her for her failure to secure
    a meeting.  This is a negative dynamic that does not redound
    to the bilateral relationship's benefit, Taiana said.  Taiana
    said that he had encouraged CFK to accept the President's
    invitation to next year's nuclear security summit.

    ¶5. (C) Minister Taiana talked at length about the economic
    situation, describing the CFK government as ""populists with a
    fiscal surplus.""  The fundamentals, he argued, were good.

    ¶6. (C) Ambassador Martinez voiced appreciation to Taiana for
    receiving her so quickly and shared her eagerness to present
    credentials to the President.  She described the Obama
    Administration's commitment to a good and constructive
    partnership with Argentina.  She encouraged the GOA to
    support Embassy efforts to promote greater person-to-person
    contacts between our two countries.

    ¶7. (C) The Ambassador took the opportunity to encourage
    Argentina to raise its voice in international fora to insist
    that Iran engage in real dialogue with the P5 plus 1 and that
    it abide by its obligations to the IAEA and the Non
    Proliferation Treaty.  Minister Taiana acknowledged the
    utility of increasing independent voices on this topic and
    promised to consider what steps Argentina might take.

    ¶8. (C) Ambassador asked Taiana to consider Argentina's
    leadership role in hemispheric and international issues of
    human rights and democracy, noting that the Minister had
    earlier pointed to these values as something held in common
    by both our countries.  She suggested to Taiana that he
    consider how Argentina could assume a leadership in promoting
    human rights and democracy agenda akin to its peacekeeping
    role in Haiti, an agenda that could usefully include
    Venezuela and Bolivia.  ""Don't forget to mention Cuba,""
    Taiana interjected, anticipating the next point.  On this,
    Taiana was noncommittal, averring that ""Argentina and
    Venezuela have always been friends.""

    In Other News: The Tea that Wasn't
    ----------------------------------

    ¶9.  (C) The Casa Rosada, through an intermediary, also asked
    the Ambassador at the last minute to include a New York City
    stop in her Los Angeles-to-Buenos Aires travel plans to ""have
    tea"" with CFK; the Ambassador declined, preferring to adhere
    to normal protocol and the previous, more straightforward
    travel plan.  This invitation was later leaked to leading
    paper Clarin, which tendentiously characterized the episode

    as another indication of the USG's disinclination to engage
    with CFK.

    Positive Press
    --------------

    ¶10. (U) All major dailies as well as most broadcast news
    carried positive and prominent stories on the Ambassador's
    arrival and presentation of credentials to Taiana.  Press
    carried our statement that Ambassador Martinez would
    represent the Obama Administration's interest in improving
    the existing good bilateral relationship between the United
    States and Argentina.
