1. (SBU) Reftel requested an interim report on official
attendance at the 61st UN General Assembly. On July 31,
Johan Ariff Abdul Razak, MFA Assistant Secretary of the
United Nations and Disarmament Branch stated that Prime
Minister Abdullah Badawi will lead the Malaysian delegation,
accompanied by Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar. Johan was
unable to confirm any further details on the high-level
attendance. As the GOM will be attending the NAM Summit in
Havana immediately prior to the UNGA, Johan said that the
decision would not be made until after the first week of
August. He also noted that interpretation services have
never been necessary for the Malaysian delegation at the
UNGA.
