1. (C) Italy's observer to the NAM Summit in Havana,
Sebastiano Cardi, a minister in the MFA Directorate General
for Political Affairs, will be in Cuba for several days,
beginning September 12. In light of the Italian presence at
the meeting, Poloff spoke with Alessandro Busacca, a minister
in the Political Affairs DG, September 13 to request that
Italy lobby NAM attendees on behalf of several shared goals.
1. (C) Poloff asked Italy to encourage NAM delegates to
support the transition from an African Union peacekeeping
force in Darfur to a UN mission (Ref A); to avoid one-sided
statements on the Middle East and focus on supporting a
negotiated settlement; and to stress the right of the Cuban
people to free and fair elections, with OAS and UN assistance
(Ref B). Poloff also reiterated Assistant Secretary
Silverberg's September 8 message to Giulio Terzi, Director
General for Political Affairs, urging Italy to help prevent a
NAM Summit position supporting Venezuela's UNSC candidacy.
Busacca noted the importance of the issues, and said he would
pass the points to Cardi, but stressed it would not be easy
to convince the NAM countries, especially from the position
of an observer.
