REF: STATE 63279


1. Poloff discussed reftel with Brazilian Embassy Minister
Counselor Fernando Jose de Carvalho Lopes. Lopes said that
he had already been in contact with the Thai MFA regarding
the June conference in Brasilia and that his Ambassador
preferred that we demarche the MFA separately. Lopes said
the Thai had told him they would organize a delegation from
Bangkok, but at this time it is unlikely that they will send
a Minister-level official to head the delegation.


2. Subsequently, Poloff delivered reftel demarche points to
Wasin Dhamavasi from the Latin America Division of MFA.
Wasin confirmed that the RTG planned to send a delegation to
the forum, but were still working on their delegation list.
Wasin promised to pass on the names of the official
delegation as soon as they were decided.
