1. (SBU) Political Military Counselor met with MFA NATO
Director Massimo Marotti and UN Director Natalia Quintavalle
on January 8 to extend ref A invitation for Italy to
participate in the Contact Group on Somali Piracy (CGSP) and
to brief them on the agenda and topics for the January 13-14
meeting (ref b). Marotti and Quintavalle expressed Italian
appreciation for being included as a founding member of the
group and Quintavalle noted that Italy's UN mission had been
following the formation of the group with great interest and
had already provided the MFA with detailed information on the
topics and the communique. Marotti and Quintavalle signalled
broad Italian agreement on the key issues that needed to be
addressed and had specific questions about the role of the
observer organizations in the grouping and the nature and
extent of UN involvement.
2. (SBU) Marotti indicated that Italy welcomed the
opportunity to participate in the innaugural meeting and
would brief the Minister's office on the proposal. Because
of the short lead time, Italy's UN PermRep Giulio Terzi will
probably be the senior Italian representative at the
innaugural meeting, perhaps reinforced with experts from Rome.
