CUBA TERRORISM RESOLUTION

C O N F I D E N T I A L ACCRA 001539 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: DECL: 07/22/2014 TAGS: PREL PHUM GH SUBJECT: CUBA TERRORISM RESOLUTION REF: STATE 150754 Classified By: Polchief Richard Kaminski, reason 1.5 (B/D). 1.(C) Post followed up on DAS Bridgewater's call to Foreign Minister per instructions reftel, and delivered demarche on the Cuban-sponsored terrorism resolution to Foreign Ministry International Organizations Chief John Kuleke on July 15. Kuleke promised to give the matter close examination but offered no substantive comments on the demarche points. He indicated the GOG position would be reached in consultation with its mission in New York. 2.(C) COMMENT: After two Foreign Minister demarches and DAS Bridgewater's call, the GoG is certainly aware of the USG position, but we suspect Ghana remains reluctant to take any strong anti-Cuban position given the continuing assistance provided by Cuba in the form of Cuban doctors working in country. However, due to our continued strong bilateral relations, Ghana is also unlikely to take an anti-U.S. position. YATES
