for reasons 1.4 (B) and (D)
1. (C) On September 6, PolCouns raised reftel demarche topics
of Terrorism, Democracy and the Middle East with MFA Director
for Multilateral Affairs Gustavo Alvarez. Alvarez said that
Uruguay "tended to be more of an observer than a member of
the Non-Aligned Movement" and was unlikely to be actively
engaged at the XIV NAM Summit in Havana next September 11-16.
However, Alvarez confirmed that Formin Reinaldo Gargano will
represent Uruguay at the Summit and admitted that he did not
know what he might say or do.
2. (C) Comment: In the past, Embassy has refrained from
discussing the UN Security Council race with anyone at the
Foreign Ministry, because Gargano's anti-American and
pro-Venezuelan sentiments are well known. Instead, the Charge
has demarched the President directly on this topic. End
Comment.
