REF: STATE 130530
On July 21 pol/econ officer delivered reftel demarche to
Faruque Faquira, Head of Department, Ministry of Foreign
Affairs' Directorate for International Organizations and
Conferences (DOIC). Faquira stated the GRM supported the
creation of a UN Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) and agreed
that its establishment following the September High-Level
Event would be beneficial to the reform process. Faquira
seemed pleased that the draft resolutions would allow for
broad participation within the PBC, particularly that
non-UNSC members would have representation. He said he would
pass the talking points and draft resolution package to
Mozambique's UN Mission in New York, since it is taking the
lead for the GRM on UN reform initiatives.
