SECURITY EVENT
REF: SECSTATE 93894
(SBU) On September 11, Poloff delivered reftel invitation to
Counselor Marios Kountourides and Second Secretary Alexis
Phedonos-Valet in the Cyprus MFA's Department of Multilateral
Affairs and International Organizations. Kountourides stated
the GOC would likely attend, but the invitation would need to
be taken under consideration. Kountourides suggested that
involving civil society in the discussion on food security
could be useful, and that NGOs might be given a role to play
at the event. On September 15, Poloff followed-up with
Kountourides to confirm attendance; Kountourides still had no
confirmation of GOC attendance but promised to inform Poloff
as soon as an answer is ready. Post will report any further
information.
