1. (SBU) MFA PSI Action Officer Casper Nervil confirmed June
9 that MFA State Secretary Michael Zilmer-Johns will
represent Denmark June 23 at the High-Level Political Meeting
for the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) in Warsaw.
As an Under Secretary-equivalent in the MFA, he currently has
broad responsibility for international security matters, NATO
and EU affairs, and bilateral relations with most OECD
countries. Zilmer-Johns was the Senior Foreign Policy
Advisor to Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen (National
Security Advisor-equivalent).
2. (SBU) On the margins of the upcoming PSI High-Level
Political meeting, Zilmer-Johns intends to firm up planning
with Poland and Russia for a September PSI exercise in the
Baltic Sea. Nervil noted that Denmark has been trying to
negotiate this exercise with the Russians for approximately
two years, and is now cautiously optimistic that it will
finally go forward. Denmark is also looking forward to
participating in the panel on PSI industry outreach during
the upcoming Warsaw meeting.
