SUBJECT: UN REFORM: CHINA BELIEVES REFORM ISSUES SHOULD BE
RESOLVED IN NEW YORK

REF: STATE 31831

(SBU) China believes UN reform issues, such as those
raised in reftel concerning the Redesign Panel report,
should be resolved by experts on the Fifth and Sixth
Committees in New York, MFA International
Organizations Department UN Division Deputy Director
Yao Shaojun told poloff March 19. Responding to
poloff's March 14 delivery of reftel message, Yao said
China understands the United States' concerns about
the financial impact and potential administrative
burden of some of the Redesign Panel's
recommendations. At this stage, Beijing is not
inclined to delve into the details of the personnel
system and will defer to its experts in New York, he
said.
