(C) Subsequent to the contacts described in ref A, the
Ambassador spoke with President Toledo on the afternoon of
7/26, and briefed the President on the USG's opposition to
the G-4 framework resolution, per ref B talking points.
Toledo did not say definitively how Peru would vote, and
stressed that he had not yet taken a final position. He
commented that he had real concerns about supporting any
resolution promoting a UNSC seat for Japan, given the current
state of affairs between Japan and Peru over the extradition
of former President Fujimori. Toledo seemed to be leaning
toward abstention if the resolution comes to a vote, and he
even admitted the possibility of voting against, given the
difficult situation with Japan.
