On July 21, Poloff delivered Ref A talking points by
telephone and fax to Angella Brown, Deputy Director,
International Organizations Department, Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and Foreign Trade (MFAFT). Referring to her last
conversation on the subject with Poloff (Ref B),Brown
offered that CARICOM states were developing a common position
on UN Security Council reform, which was discussed at the
July 3-6 heads of government (HOGs) meeting in St. Lucia.
She said that many CARICOM states were inclined to support
the G-4 resolution, contingent on certain amendments, as
outlined in St. Lucia (Ref C). Brown stressed that the
development agenda is the GOJ's primary concern, and that
they hoped to move quickly toward consensus on Security
Council reform in order to focus on other aspects of UN
reform.
