Immediately following the intense day-long Forum on the New Anti-Semitism, Smith, along with B'nai B'rith Argentina President Boris Kalnicki and Vice President Ernesto Graisman met with Fernandez and members of her cabinet and staff.

During the course of the meeting, many different issues were discussed in an open and honest dialogue. High on the list of topics of mutual interest and concern was the AMIA bombing. Smith reminded the meeting participants, including several ministers of the Fernandez de Kirchner's government, that the 14^th anniversary of the attack on the AMIA (Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina) building had just passed, and that there still was no justice for those who perished.

The group also discussed the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance, and Research. Argentina is the only Latin American country that is part of this group. Smith asked for Argentina's help in recruiting other Latin American nations into the group.  Fernandez de Kirchner pledged her assistance and that of her Foreign Minister, Jorge Taiana, to help urge other nations to fulfill this obligation.

Smith asked for Argentina's assistance at the Organization of American States (OAS) to develop a stand-alone resolution against anti-Semitism. The OAS currently bundles anti-Semitism with other crimes in a statement in its preamble. Taiana also offered to work for a similar resolution at MERCOSUR, a South American trade consortium.

Said Smith, "This has been day of landmark meetings on issues of critical importance to Jews in Latin America and around the world.  We are facing problems that must be dealt with on the local, the national, and the international level. We have clearly taken a step forward in Argentina today."
