1. (U) DCM delivered demarche on the Global Initiative to
Combat Nuclear Terrorism to MFA Director General Elisabeth
Harper on May 18. Ambassador Harper noted that Guyana has
long been sensitized to the fight against terrorism as Guyana
was itself victim of two terrorist attacks: the 1976 bombing
of the Guyana Consular Office in Port of Spain, followed
shortly thereafter by the bombing of Cubana Flight 455 (which
originated in Guyana and in which eleven Guyanese were
killed). She said that given this sensitivity, Guyana would
likely endorse the Statement of Principles and she would
forward such a recommendation for consideration by the
Foreign Minister and Cabinet.
2. (SBU) DCM approached his Russian conterpart in
mid-February about making the demarche in concert with the
Russian Embassy. It took the Russian Embassy two months to
get instructions from Moscow to do so. However, having
received positive instructions, Russian Embassy officials
were then never able to find time to make the demarche.
