During an August 29 courtesy call by Polcouns, GOES
Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Eduardo Calix said that his
government had not yet considered an open request made by
Haitian interim President Alexandre at the July 28-29 Panama
Summit for electoral observers, nor had the Foreign Ministry
discussed Salvadoran participation with the Canadian Embassy
here. Nonetheless, Calix assured that he would initiate
internal discussion on the subject, which would include
consultations with El Salvador's Supreme Electoral Tribunal
(TSE),and added that, in his view, the GOES would be open to
such a request. Calix promised to have an answer for us as
soon as possible. MFA Multilateral Affairs officer Felix
Ulloa, who participated in the meeting, said that he would
brief the MFA Multilateral Affairs Director on the issue, and
that he would also contact his Canadian Embassy counterpart
to coordinate possible GOES actions. Separately, Embassy
will approach appropriate Canadian Embassy officials this
week to map out a joint strategy.
