INITIATIVE'S MEETING IN MOROCCO
REF: SECSTATE 173436
1. THIS IS AN ACTION MESSAGE. SEE PARAGRAPH 5.
2. SUMMARY: Embassy Science and Technology Officer Ayanna
Hobbs spoke to Japanese counterparts at MOFA on 17 October
regarding details on the GI Morocco meeting (reftel). Embassy
plans to meet with MOFA on 18 October at 10:00am to continue
discussions. (NOTE: Russian Embassy Political Officer Sergey
I. Kuznetsov says he will not participate in the October 18
meeting because he has not received instructions from his
authorities.) Japan has provided additional information about
its delegation and seeks U.S. views on an appropriate topic
for its expert level briefing. END SUMMARY
Japanese Delegation
--------------
3. MOFA Disarmament, Non-Proliferation and Science
Director-General Ambassador Takeshi Nakane will lead the
Japanese delegation. (NOTE: Nakane is Under Secretary
Joseph's Japanese counterpart. Japan's Deputy Foreign
Minister will not attend.) Nakane will be accompanied by
MOFA's International Nuclear Energy Cooperation Division
Director Yasuyoshi Komizo and Toshio Kaneko. The Japanese
delegation will arrive in Morocco on 29 September around
10:00 PM. Japan will be unable to attend the reception at the
Russian Embassy and sends its regrets. Nakane will attend
the first day of meetings and will depart Morocco early
Tuesday. The other two members will stay for both days.
Expert-Level Briefings
--------------
4. Director Komizo will lead Japan's expert-level briefing on
the second day.
MOFA is consulting with other agencies on an appropriate
topic for discussion,
Its preliminary idea is to describe Japan's physical
protection regime, but it is open to suggestions from the
U.S. on suitable topics. From the embassy's perspective, the
best topic for the Japanese presentation might be accounting
control and physical protection systems, as Japan's system is
well developed.
5. ACTION REQUESTED. Post requests Washington's guidance on
suggestions for Japan's expert level briefing.
