REF: A. STATE 173465
B. STATE 175110
Classified By: Charge Katherine Dhanani. Reason: 1.4 (b) & (d).
(C) Charge delivered Ref A demarche to MFA Director for
International Organizations Wilfrid Ontchanga on October 18.
Ontchanga promised to communicate the USG's request that
Gabon continue to support Guatemala to Minister Ping.
Although he was unable to provide an official response, he
commented that he believed identification of a compromise
candidate would be the best outcome. In his view, it is
important to avoid creating winners and losers at the UN.
Post believes that, if it persists, Venezuela's continued
refusal to withdraw will be viewed unfavorably in Gabon.
