1. Poloff Cunningham met with MFA Latin America DeskOff
Christiaan Vandriessche and provided demarhce and information
on CAFC. Poloff explained the Commission as proactive and
transparent approach to preparing for inevitable transition
to take place in Cuba after Castro. Vandriessche
acknowledged Belgians are hopeful for democratic transition
after Castro even though they currently have open relations
with Cuba. He was skeptical of the ability or political will
of opposition. Poloff stated CAFC could serve as impetus to
these groups in push for democratic reform.
