1. (U) This cable contains an action request. Please see
para 4.


2. (SBU) Econoff, with Dutch First Secretary (Political)
Onny Jalink and Russian Second Secretary (Political) Andrey
Savinov, delivered the demarche contained in ref to Ministry
of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Deputy Director for International
Nuclear Energy Cooperation Shoichi Nagayoshi April 20.
Nagayoshi had no comments on the issue of speaking roles for
GOJ officials at the 2009 Global Initiative (GI) Plenary
Meeting, but said Japan likely will send a director general
(A/S equivalent) for the first day's meetings, and a
director-level official for the second day of working groups.
He requested information on who would attend from the U.S.


3. (SBU) Regarding upcoming GI events, Nagayoshi noted
Foreign Minister Nakasone's speech planned for April 27 will
address disarmament, non-proliferation, and the peaceful use
of nuclear energy. The speech, Nagayoshi continued, will
contain proposals for future actions, including a seminar or
workshop that MOFA hopes can take place under the umbrella of
the GI. He provided no further specifics, but post will
follow up with MOFA after Nakasone's speech.


4. (U) Action request: Please provide any information that
can be shared with MOFA regarding the composition of the U.S.
delegation to the 2009 Plenary meeting.
