1. (U) Japan is keen to provide support for the Ethiopian
deployment as part of the United Nations-African Union
Mission in Darfur (UNAMID). However, it has not identified a
line item in its current budget to use for drawing the needed
funds, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, First Africa Division
Assistant Director and Sudan Unit Head Toru Sugio told emboff

finance complicate efforts to identify funds. Sugio
stressed, however, that Japan will consider ways it can
contribute.
