REF: STATE 9008
(SBU) Poloff delivered reftel demarche on February 4 to
Hussam Husseini, Deputy Director of the Foreign Ministry's
International Organizations department, urging Jordanian
participation in the Vienna Forum in mid-February. Husseini
noted the USG interest that the Vienna Forum not lead to any
outcome document calling for commitments or recommendations
to the UN, but said he found it hard to imagine that there
would not be some concluding document or summary of
proceedings. Poloff stressed that the intent was not for
UN.GIFT to extend beyond 2008 or continue to exist as a
stand-alone entity. Husseini said he anticipated that the
GOJ would attend, but did not know who would represent his
government. During a subsequent contact on February 5, he
still did not know who the attendee(s) would be. Post will
follow-up next week.
