(C) Pol/econoff delivered reftel demarche to Judite Dobele,
the MFA's Head of the African and Middle Eastern Affairs
department. Dobele stated that Foreign Minister Maris
Riekstins plans to attend the Sharm Al-Sheikh conference in
conjunction with a bilateral visit with Egypt. Because of
Latvia's current economic situation she said they will not be
able to make a monetary pledge. Dobele hinted that there
was, however, the possibility of a small humanitarian project
here in Latvia, and she committed to giving us more details
at a later date.
