US embassy cable - 05MAPUTO74

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (SBU) On December 30, Emboff delivered demarche and 
talking points to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 
urging Mozambique to adopt the Additional Protocol to 
the comprehensive standards of the International Atomic 
Energy Agency (IAEA). The MFA official receiving the 
demarche, Fernando Chomar, an officer responsible for UN 
security-related issues, was not familiar with the IAEA 
protocol. After reviewing the documents, he expressed 
support for the general principle of the protocol but 
wondered what steps and costs would be necessary to 
comply with protocol commitments. He agreed to consult 
with us on the issue again early in 2005. 
 
2. (SBU) Prior to delivering this demarche, post had 
consulted with the embassies/high commissions of other G- 
8 members listed in the authorizing cable, with hopes of 
co-delivering the demarche. None of the other missions 
we contacted - United Kingdom, Italy, and France - were 
familiar with the IAEA protocols at all, so we 
eventually delivered the demarche solo.
