1. (U) Poloff delivered demarche per reftel 10 August 2004 to
Director of Bilateral Affairs, Mohamed Ali Hassan. Hassan
was very interested in the topics the U.S. would present at
the ICAO conference in Montreal and said he would pass the
information to the Director of Civil Aviation. Hassan said
it would be very helpful to the Djiboutian delegation
attending to be able to coordinate meetings with the U.S.
delegation prior to the conference. He continued that having
the chance to meet and discuss the issue is very important so
the delegation can evaluate the issues and align their views.
Poloff replied that as soon as the Government of Djibouti
decided who exactly would be in their delegation, she would
pass their names to the appropriate persons in Washington.
