1. (C) In response to reftel points explaining USG efforts in
Yemen, goals for the January 27 London meeting, and future
multilateral efforts, MFA International Organizations and
Conferences Department UN Division Attache Jiang Bo told
PolOff January 26 that China appreciated the U.S. perspective
on the issue and was pleased that the U.S. approach would
take into account the importance of development assistance
and other factors in improving Yemen's ability to fight
terrorism. Jiang stressed that in his view the process had
to remain "Yemeni-led" and the international community should
show respect for the country's sovereignty. The UN, and the
UNSC in particular, should be the focal point for action on
Yemen, he added. Jiang said that the PRC had noted the
Yemeni government's efforts to combat terrorism and agreed
with the U.S. call to increase assistance to Yemen to
strengthen its capacity to govern.
2. (C) Jiang reported that FM Yang Jiechi would be in London
"on other business" during the January 27 conference on Yemen
and would not likely attend, but a "high-level" official from
the PRC embassy in London would represent China at the
conference.
