    SUBJECT: FARC HOSTAGES: GOF LEAVING "NO STONE UNTURNED" TO
    FREE HOSTAGES, ACCEPT CHAVEZ OFFER TO MEDIATE, OFFER VISIT

    Classified By: Pol M/C Josiah Rosenblatt for Reasons 1.4 (B) and (D)

    ¶1. (S/NF) SUMMARY. The French determination to explore all
    options that could lead to the release of Franco-Colombian
    Ingrid Betancourt has led them to support Venezuelan
    President Hugo Chavez,s offer to mediate a humanitarian
    accord between the Colombian government and FARC guerillas.
    MFA officials admit that while the GOF is open to Chavez,s
    offer to act as a mediator in the release of FARC hostages,
    France will not make any further moves until there is a
    gesture of goodwill (proof of life) from the FARC. Since a
    September 4 meeting on hostage negotiations between FM
    Kouchner and his Colombian counterpart, Sarkozy has invited
    President Chavez to France, a move downplayed by the French
    MFA. Sarkozy will meet with Colombian president Uribe on the
    margins of the UNGA on September 25. Betancourt is high on
    the bilateral agenda. COMMENT: Betancourt remains a major
    media presence in France and the GOF is under a great deal of
    political pressure to show the government "will leave no
    stone unturned" to secure her release. END COMMENT AND
    SUMMARY.

    ¶2. (S/NF) On September 6, Poloffs and Deputy Director of
    Regional Affairs for S/CT, Marc Norman, met with FM
    Kouchner's Counselor for Latin American and Asian affairs,
    Evan Nguyen Binh; DAS equivalent for South America, Michel
    Pinard; and Colombia/Venezuela desk officer, Daniel Paradisi.
    MFA representatives described the political pressure to
    obtain this hostage release. They noted that while they are
    willing to press for negotiations, the French require some
    advance positive movement by the Revolutionary Armed Forces
    of Colombia (FARC). Referring to the Colombian release of
    200 FARC prisoners in June, the French noted that they have
    not seen any steps toward negotiations by the FARC.
    Specifically, the French seek proof of life as a requirement
    for negotiations. The MFA representatives characterized
    Venezuelan President Chavez's offer to act as a mediator
    between the FARC and the Colombian government as an
    opportunity while noting they do not have a precise
    understanding of what Chavez can do. They highlighted the
    intense political pressure on the French government to obtain
    Betancourt's safe return and noted that they are not able to
    turn down offers that might result in a hostage release. Eva
    Nguyen Binh asked whether the U.S. might consider the release
    of Simon Trinidad to the FARC. Poloffs and S/CT Deputy
    Director Marc Norman unequivocally rejected this suggestion.

    ¶3. (S/NF) French President Sarkozy called Chavez over the
    weekend of September 8 to discuss the hostage situation.
    Sarkozy,s call followed an August 29 call to Chavez during
    which the two presidents decided to "stay in as close contact
    as possible." Statements from Venezuela report that Sarkozy
    invited Chavez to France, "where he would welcome Chavez as a
    friend." While MFA officials admit that a trip was discussed
    and could occur in the next few months, neither the Elysee
    Palace nor the MFA have said so publicly telling reporters
    only that Chavez and Sarkozy discussed their willingness to
    travel to Colombia. Chavez last visited France in 2005.
    Focused on securing Betancourt's release, Foreign Minister
    Kouchner told France Info radio that Chavez could "bring his
    personal touch even if he is a very controversial. But after
    all, all goodwill is welcome and we must not leave any stone
    unturned." MFA Desk Officer Daniel Paradisi acknowledged
    that Sarkozy initiated the second call which he described as
    a means to an end. He added "it is hard to be friends with
    Venezuela."

    ¶4. (SBU) The French continue their dialogue with the
    Colombians as well with a Sarkozy call to Colombian President
    Uribe on August 30. FM Kouchner followed by meeting
    Colombian Foreign Minister Araujo on September 4. Uribe and
    Sarkozy are scheduled to meet on September 25 on the margins
    of the UN General Assembly to discuss the hostage situation
    according to MFA contacts.
