SUBJECT: PORTUGAL AND THE LIBERIA PARTNERS' FORUM
REF: SECSTATE 201818
In response to the Embassy's encouragement to participate in
the February Liberia Partner's Forum (reftel),Portuguese MFA
Director of Sub-Saharan African Affairs Nuno Bello approached
the Portuguese Institute for Development Assistance (IPAD)
about the possibility of sending a representative, but is
unable to confirm anything yet. Portugal has contributed to
the UN observer Program in Liberia, and supported the EU
"ECHO Program" but has no ongoing bilateral programs.
Comment: Due to Portugal's lack of bilateral engagement with
Liberia, it is likely that they will send a Portuguese
Embassy official to participate rather than a participant
from Lisbon. End comment.
