After the talks in the Peruvian capital, the chief US diplomat was to travel to Ecuador, Colombia and Barbados. Simmering rows between Washington and Brasilia, the western hemisphere's main powers, form the backdrop to the OAS General Assembly whose agenda includes efforts to avert a regional arms races, crime and Argentina's claim of sovereignty over the British-ruled Falkland Islands. Peruvian President Alan Garcia wants to limit arms sales and avert an arms race as he watches purchases by Chile, Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia. But analyst Michael Shifter doubts his proposal will go far amid lack of interest from big powers Brazil and the United States as well as other countries. Arturo Valenzuela, the US assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere, dismissed fears of an arms race. "There has actually been a significant decline in expenditures on armaments in most countries of the region," he said. Though it does not appear on the agenda, there may be debate over US-backed efforts to readmit Honduras to the OAS following its suspension in June last year over the coup that toppled president Manuel Zelaya. Shifter, president of the Inter-American Dialogue, said there remained a "sharp difference" over readmitting Honduras to the OAS between the United States and Brazil, which sheltered Zelaya in its embassy in Tegucigalpa, during a long power play following the coup. Analyst Christopher Sabatini, an executive at the New York-based Americas Society and Council of the Americas, told AFP it might be possible for the OAS to reach a consensus on a "process" for readmitting Honduras. A similar compromise was tailored for Cuba to save last year's OAS when a dispute emerged with the United States opposing efforts by Venezuela, Brazil and others to readmit Havana to the pan-American grouping. Apart from US-Brazilian differences over Honduras, those over Iran and Cuba can also bubble to the surface, even though they are not on the agenda, Shifter said. US officials declined to say whether Clinton would meet face-to-face at the OAS with Celso Amorim, the Brazilian foreign minister, as Washington pushes next week for a UN Security Council vote on new sanctions against Iran. Brazil, a non-permanent council member, has opposed sanctions while pushing a deal opposed by Washington to ship low-grade nuclear fuel to Turkey so that it can be further enriched and returned to Iran for medical purposes. Shifter said Cuba could come up again this year as many Latin American countries feel little has been done in the last year to readmit Cuba. On Tuesday, Clinton will fly to Quito for talks with Ecuador's leftist President Rafael Correa and for a speech laying out the broad outlines of President Barack Obama's policies toward Latin America. "The idea now is to set forth a more cooperative agenda," Sabatini said, noting that the Obama administration has suffered a number of "fits and starts" in improving ties with a region that has long distrusted the United States. On Wednesday, she will spend the day in Bogota for talks with Colombia's outgoing President Alvaro Uribe as well as the candidates in the current elections, frontrunner Juan Manuel Santos and rival Antanas Mockus. On Thursday, she will be in Bridgetown for follow-up talks with ministers of Caribbean countries that sent delegates to Washington last month to launch an initiative aimed at fighting drug-traffickers and other transnational gangs.
