1. (C) A/DCM June 28 delivered reftel demarche concerning UN
reform to MFA Director for International Organization Affairs
Ghassan Shaikho. Shaikho said this issue had been discussed
during the NAM meeting at the end of May. The NAM took the
decision to convey to the G-8 that the G-77 is ready and
eager to cooperate on UN reform. The G-77 does not seek
confrontation. Shaikho said he thought this message had
already been delivered by either Malaysia, host of the
meeting, or South Africa, chair of the session on the UN.
Shaikho said he expected the G-77 and G-8 to have a
"cooperative and meaningful dialogue."
2. (C) In an aside, Shaikho said Bahrain would work within
the G-77 to help promote outcomes that take into account G-8
reform priorities.
