RESOLUTION
1. (SBU) Morocco Ministry of Foreign Affairs Head of the
United Nations and International Organizations Directorate
Azzedine Farhane met with Poloff today and said that Morocco
would like to jointly sponsor, with the United States and
Russia, a United Nations (UN) 1st Committee resolution to
promote the Global Initiative To Combat Nuclear Terrorism
(GICNT). This offer comes on the heels of a successful
Moroccan-hosted GICNT Conference in Rabat last week.
2. (SBU) Farhane said when he met with Russian Ambassador to
Morocco Boris Bolotine this morning, he received a favorable
response on the proposal from Bolotine. Morocco will not
take action on this issue before U.S. and Russian concurrence.
3. (SBU) Farhane suggested that Morocco could discuss this
matter in more detail next week with the U.S. and Russia
delegations attending the GICNT Plenary Session at The Hague.
Underscoring its importance to Morocco, Farhane requested
that the U.S. provide an initial response to Morocco's
proposal tomorrow, June 12, if at all possible. Post would
appreciate Department's timely response to this inquiry.
