Director of Bilateral Affairs, Mohamed Ali Hassan. Hassan
could not give a definitive answer on which way Djibouti
would vote on the Cuba resolution. He did, however, note
that it was especially helpful to have a detailed explanation
of the reasons behind the U.S. request. He continued that he
would pass the information to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
for discussion with Djibouti's representative to the United
Nations in New York. Post will try to follow-up in the
coming weeks.
