1. (SBU) After providing reftel talking points to the MFA
earlier, we checked with MFA North America on September 8 to
see whether FM Lavrov would attend a meeting of the Five Plus
Five on the margins of the upcoming UN General Assembly
meetings. We were told that no decision had been made about
Lavrov's participation.
2. (SBU) In a September 7 meeting with MFA First Asia
Department Senior Counselor Oleg Davydov, who advises DFM
Alekseyev on North Korean issues, we raised GOR participation
in the meeting. Davydov was aware of the request, was
noncommittal about GOR attendance, and asked whether we knew
whether other invitees had accepted. Poloffs noted that we
did not know whether all invitees had accepted.
