2. (SBU) Emboffs delivered reftel points to the Foreign
Ministry's Africa Department Director Igor Labuzov. He said
that a Russian delegation would likely attend the Liberian
Partners' Forum in Washington, DC, next month, but did not
yet know the composition of the delegation. He speculated
that officials in the Russian Federation's UN delegation, who
developed Russia's position on the December 2006 sanctions
resolution, would participate in the Forum.
3. (SBU) Labuzov said the GOR recognized the need for
large-scale and long-term economic assistance to Liberia but
was not able to provide information on the GOR's plans. He
will provide assistance and delegation information as the
Russian participation efforts take shape. He expressed hope
that the Forum would present an opportunity to discuss the
development, security, and stability challenges common to
other countries in the southern sub-region of Western Africa,
such as Cote d'Ivoire and Sierra Leone.
