1. Per reftel, Econ office contacted Jos Lorenzana,
Multilateral Political Director at the MFA, regarding
Honduras, participation in International Renewable Energy
Agency (IRENA).
2. According to Lorenzana, Honduras was waiting to receive
the IRENA documents from Germany. Upon receipt, the
documents will be forwarded to congress for ratification.
Lorenzana predicted that congress will ratify the IRENA
documents.
3. The GOH has not decided which countries it will support
for IRENA headquarters or the director-generalship.
Lorenzana said the GOH was leaning toward the UAE for
headquarters, as a representative came from the UAE to
Honduras to lobby. Lorenzana said he thought Spain had
formed an agreement with the UAE, in which the UAE would
serve as the headquarters while Spain would supply the
Director General. Lorenzana predicted the GOH would support
this pairing, though he emphasized that no formal decisions
had been made.
4. Honduras was still working on forming the delegation that
will travel to Egypt June 28-30. The delegation will include
representatives from the Ministry of Environment and Natural
Resources (SERNA) and the National Electric Company (ENEE.)
