REPRESENTATION
REF: A) STATE 157147 B) DUBLIN 1020
1. Emboff delivered reftel points on July 22 to Niall Brady,
Deputy Head of the Asia Division at DFA. Brady's remarks
mirrored those of DFA's Deputy Political Director Paul
Kavanagh as reported in reftel b. While Brady reiterated the
EU position will likely not be reached until the September
GAERC, he added that the GOI advocates allowing Burma to
attend the October EU-ASEM summit at the Prime Minister or
Foreign Minister level, but not Head of State level. Brady
opined that other EU countries share similar views, and while
the British continue to maintain a hard line he believes they
would ultimately accept that position, as well.
