REF: STATE 17100
Polchief delivered reftel demarche on the upcoming meeting of
the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs to Oussama Khacchab,
Americas Desk Officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who
promised to pass the demarche points to relevant officials at
the Ministry of Health and in Lebanon's UN delegations. It
is worth noting that both the Minister of Foreign Affairs and
the Minister of Health resigned last November, have not been
replaced, and that both ordinary business and policymaking at
both ministries have been compromised by Lebanon's ongoing
political crisis.
