SUBJECT: CYPRIOT AMBASSADOR IN WARSAW TO REPRESENT GOC AT
THE PSI HIGH-LEVEL POLITICAL MEETING
REF: STATE 84640
(SBU) Polchief delivered reftel message to Michalis
Stavrinos, Director of MFA's Division of Legal Affairs, on
May 26. Stavrinos indicated that he had been planning to
head the Cypriot delegation to the June 23 PSI High-Level
Planning Meeting, but had been forced to withdraw because of
pressing business in Nicosia. Instead, the MFA had sent
detailed instructions to the Cypriot Ambassador in Warsaw,
who would represent the GOC at the HLPM. Stavrinos stressed
that the GOC understood the importance of the HLPM in
combating the proliferation of WMD. The ROC's decision to be
represented at the Ambassadorial level was not, in any way,
intended to signal a lack of confidence in the PSI. It was
simply a function of an over-stretched Cypriot foreign
affairs bureaucracy struggling to cope with competing demands
and the burden of EU membership.
