Latin American diplomats seeking to revive the Contadora peace talks, which collapsed last June, ended a two-day tour of Central America with criticism for U.S. support for Nicaraguan rebels and vague talk of conditions that might lead to a peace treaty in Central America. Mexico’s Foreign Minister Bernardo Sepulveda said the trip created a “climate of confidence” that might move the talks forward, while Argentine Foreign Minister Dante Caputo said that U.S. support for the contras undercuts the process. The Contadora talks began four years ago in an attempt to forge a peace treaty between Nicaragua and its neighbors. U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar and Joao Baena Soares, secretary general of the Organization of American States, joined representatives of eight nations in the tour.
