1. (U) Embassy delivered reftel demarche on July 7. Desk
Officer for the Americas and Europe, Ministry of Foreign
Affairs Mahamadou Nimaga thanked Embassy for its remarks.
Nimaga said the Ministry would communicate the USG's concerns
to the Malian government's representative at the
International Telecommunication Satellite Organization (ITSO)
meeting in Rome scheduled for July 8-9. Nimaga said Mali
would first seek to clarify whether an African Union position
on this matter exists, and that Mali would otherwise seek to
support the position of the U.S., an important partner.

Communications and New Technologies.
