1. (C) Ambassador met with Minister of Foreign Affairs Charles
Murigande to present points on seeking support for Kosovo's
upcoming declaration of independence. Pol/econ chief
subsequently spoke twice with Ministry of Foreign Affairs
directors on this issue and gave them a non-paper on the
subject. Murigande has requested guidance and review from
the Prime Minister. Issues of this level are commonly the
subject of cabinet deliberations in Rwanda, and the Prime
Minister's office frames the debate. We understand a small
cabinet committee is examing the question. We continue to
emphasize the importance the USG attaches to swift
recognition of a Kosovo independence declaration.
