1. (SBU) CDA Tim Smith presented reftel talking points to
Djiboutian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Secretary General
Badri Ali Bogoreh October 2. Bogoreh expressed interest in
the program. He promised to circulate the Interdiction
Principles within the GoDj. He wished to know how
counter-terrorism measures being taken by Djibouti in
connection with Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa
(CJTF-HOA) might relate to the program.


2. (SBU) Bogoreh suggested we contact him when we receive
further information. He believes PSI is particularly
important to Djibouti because of the country's critical role
as both a regional shipping center and a prominent meber of
the anti-teror coalition.
