1. (U) On December 23, the Charge and Russian DCM Dmitri
Kirizliev delivered reftel joint demarche to MFA Secretary
General Mboara Andrianarimanana, inviting Malagasy
participation in the 2009 Global Initiative plenary meeting
in The Hague. He responded that the GOM intends to be
present, most likely by sending representation from an
embassy in the region. (NOTE: Madagascar has nearby
embassies in France, Belgium, and Germany.)


2. (SBU) Mboara repeated Madagascar's interest in
participating in this initiative (reftel B),despite the lack
of any domestic or regional nuclear activity. Just back from
Russia, he had been pushing for increased cooperation or
exchange opportunities with the Russian government on
counter-terrorism, and this plenary meeting will provide a
low-cost means of demonstrating Malagasy support on the issue.
