1. (SBU) Monegasque Embassy Secretary Frederic Labarrere
delivered to Acting PolCouns May 23 a diplomatic note
(informal translation para 2) and curriculum vitae with the
following main points:

- Monaco intends to establish an Embassy in Washington, D.C.
to strengthen its relations with the United States;

- In the interim, Monaco would propose to accredit its
Ambassador to the UN, Gilles Noghes, to the U.S.

- Monaco would be pleased if the U.S. would accredit its
Ambassador to France, to Monaco as well.


2. (SBU) Guidance request: Please provide the text of a
diplomatic note in response. As refs B and C indicate,
Monegasque officials are hoping that the U.S. will be the
first non-resident country to accredit its Ambassador to
Monaco. In that context, we understand that Monaco may be
actively delaying requests by Russia, China and Switzerland.


3. (SBU) Begin informal translation of Monegasque diplomatic
note:

Embassy of the Principality of Monaco

The Embassy of the Principality of Monaco prsents its

Prince would like to reinforce the ties of friendship uniting

to open an Embassy in Washington, D.C.

The Embassy ("this mission") specifies that Ambassador Gille
Noghes, Monaco's Permanent Representative to the United

The Government of the Prince seeks the agreement of American
authorities to the establishment of an Embassy and their
agrement for naming of Ambassdor Gilles Noghes to the post,
whose curriculum vitae in English and French is attached.

The Embassy of the Principality of Monaco asks the U.S.
Mission to transmit this file to the appropriate American
authorities. The Embassy confirms on this occasion that the
Government of the Prince would be pleased if the U.S.
Ambassador to France could also be accredited to Monaco.

The Embassy of the Principality of Monaco takes the occasion
to renew its assurances of high consideration to the Embassy
of the United States of America.
