1. (C) POLOFF on April 14 conveyed to MFA reftel points on
the UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) proposed by South
Africa on regional organizations, the April 16 open debate
hosted by South African President Thabo Mbeki, and the April
17 joint UN Security Council-African Union (AU) Peace and
Security Council meeting. MFA International Organizations
and Conferences Department UN Division Deputy Director Yao
Shaojun said the South Africa-proposed UNSC resolution is
broadly worded. China has no official position, but Yao's
personal view is that a new panel should consider effective
use of contributions as well as funding levels. Yao did not
respond substantively to our urging of China to make
statements on Somalia and Darfur at the April 17 meeting. He
was skeptical about the possibility of a joint P5-African
statement on Zimbabwe, saying such an "outcome document" at
this meeting would be "unprecedented."
