(U) PolChief delivered subject demarche Feb. 27 to Laura
Kansikas-Debraise, Office Director of the Unit for Arms
Control, Disarmament and Non-Proliferation. Kansikas-
Debraise noted that a decision to participate in the
activities of the Global Initiative is currently under
active consideration within the GOF interagency process.
The GOF had considered endorsing the Global Initiative
Statement of Principles before the Morocco meeting in
October, but postponed a national level because of resource
constraints associated with Finland's EU Presidency (July-
December 2006). Now, the MFA is favorably disposed in
principal to Finnish participation, but is awaiting final
government approval. She promised to inform the Embassy as
soon as a decision has been reached.
