1. (SBU) Poloff discussed reftel fund on April 27 with MFA
Director of International Organizations and UN Affairs Nasser
Bourita. Bourita expressed interest in the fund and said
that it was likely that the GOM would be interested in
participating. He said he would review the information and
provide a more substantive response next week.
2. (SBU) Polcouns followed up with Bourita on May 10.
Bourita said he sent the foreign minister a note recommending
that Morocco provide a symbolic financial contribution to the
fund as a sign of its support for the effort. He understood
there were two seats for Africa on the steering committee and
said Morocco would probably try to lobby for one of them. He
promised to remain in contact as the GOM solidified its ideas
on the fund, and to share views on how best to solicit
interest in the fund within Moroccan civil society.
