1. (SBU) At the conclusion of the Government of Kenya's April 9
AGOA Forum preparatory committee meeting, Economic Counselor
reiterated to Ministry of Trade Chief Economist and committee
co-chair Richard Sindiga that the United States does not want Guinea
and Madagascar invited to the August 4-6, 2009, AGOA Forum in
Nairobi.
2. (SBU) Sindiga responded that Kenya has no intention of inviting
Guinea and Madagascar to the AGOA Forum. Sindiga stressed that
Kenya's decision is in keeping with the African Union's suspension
of Guinea's and Madagascar's memberships. Kenya, he said, would
closely align its views pertaining to matters involving both
countries with the AU's.
