Héctor Timerman said that if this type of interference was repeated, they applied the Vienna Convention on the conduct of diplomats.
Argentine Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman called a meeting with the United States Chargé d’Affaires Kevin Sullivan after the diplomat criticized the Argentine strategy for negotiating with the so-called “vulture funds” in the press.
Timerman expressed to Sullivan “the deep discomfort and the energetic rejection of the Argentine government for the improper statements of the US diplomat,” according to the Foreign Ministry in a statement.
Sullivan, who acts as interim ambassador, said in an interview with local newspaper Clarín: “It is important that Argentina come out of default as soon as possible in order to return to the path of sustainable economic growth and attract the investment it needs.”
Foreign Minister Timerman made Sullivan see that “if this type of interference in the internal affairs of the Argentine Republic is repeated, the most severe measures stipulated in the Vienna Convention on the conduct of diplomatic representatives will be adopted,” the statement said.
