(C) Ambassador raised US concerns per reftel with Prime
Minister's foreign Affairs Director General July 28. The DG
agreed that PNG would not support an additional, sustained,
forum for migrations discussions as PNG has pointed migration
concerns and sees no profit in constraints beyond its current
relations with the IOM. He also noted that PNG would not want
to see yet another duplicative UN effort. Prime Minister
Somare, who has also assumed the Foreign portfolio, will likely
attend the HLD.
