1. (U) This is an action request. Please see para 3.


2. (SBU) Dr. Bishnu Prasad Pandit, the senior point of
contact on Avian Influenza for His Majesty's Government of
Nepal (ref A),informed Emboff on September 30 that Nepal
agreed to be listed as a partner on the International
Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza Statement of Core
Principles (ref B). Because funding participants from Nepal
to attend the October 6-7 Senior Officials' meeting "could
not be managed," Pandit stated that the Ministry of Health
and Population had asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to
instruct the Royal Nepalese Embassy in Washington, DC to send
a representative to the meeting.


3. (SBU) Embassy requests that organizers of the Senior
Officials' meeting in Washington contact the Royal Nepalese
Embassy on October 3 or 4 to encourage Nepali
Washington-based participation.
