Manjeev Singh Puri, Ministry of External Affairs Joint
Secretary (UN Economic and Social),responding to Ambassador
SIPDIS
Mulford's letter of November 6, 2006 inviting India to
participate in the "Core Group" meeting to help shape the
"Partnership for Democratic Governance." Puri wrote, "I am
writing to confirm that we would like to participate in the
proposed meeting and would request that this is conveyed to
those concerned."

gradual evolution by India in the direction of collaborating
on democracy promotion, as previewed in Foreign Secretary
Shiv Shankar Menon's discussions with Under Secretaries Burns
and Dobriansky last month. End comment.
¶3. (U) Action request: Post requests guidance from the
Department on next steps, ideally tied to both the
