1. The Ambassador delivered points by letter from REFTEL on
2005 AGOA forum to Minister of Commerce Routouang Yoma Golom.
On April 6, he met with the Minister to discuss the points.
He emphasized the importance of Chadian participation this
year, given the growing importance of its economy for
US-Africa economic relations, and the lack of Chadian
representation in past conferences.
2. The Minister said he would be present at the conference,
and call on other Ministers dealing with trade issues to do
the same. Golom also noted his support for inviting members
of the private sector and civil society. The Minister did
not offer any thoughts on possible topics of discussion at
the Forum. He did express interest in any further
information we could provide about the difference between the
2005 AGOA Forum and the CCA Business Summit to be held the
following month.
3. To ensure that this issue does not lose momentum, Post
will continue to encourage the appropriate Ministries and
members of the private sector to participate in the
conference. We believe that topics of particular interest to
Chadian participants would include developing production
capacity for higher value textile products (e.g. yarn,
fabric) and exporting specialized agricultural products (e.g.
sesame). Post would welcome any guidance on how to explain
the difference between the 2005 AGOA forum and the CCA
Business Summit.
