ATTENDEE FOR 2009 PLENARY MEETING
REF: STATE 35549
1. (SBU) On April 20, Charge d'Affaires and the Russian
Ambassador jointly delivered ref points and agenda to
Mauritian Foreign Minister Arvin Boolell and Ambassador
Patrice Cure, head of the Multi-Lateral Division at the MFA.
Both were pleased to receive the updated information, but
noted that, while the GOM planned to attend, they had not yet
decided who would travel to the plenary meetings.
2. (SBU) On April 30, the Charge made a follow-up call to
Ambassador Cure. Although Boolell had promised to provide a
name to the USG and GOR by 29 April, Cure indicated that no
decision had been taken on Government of Mauritius
participation in the 2009 Plenary Meeting at the Hague. When
pressed, he pleaded the movement of the Ministry to a new
building, and said he could not have an answer until perhaps
as late as the following week.
3. (SBU) Post recognizes the GOM reply means ref deadline
can not be met and, despite assurances from the Foreign
Minister, believe it possible that, in the end, the GOM will
not send a representative. Post will provide updates, as
available.
