US embassy cable - 05MAPUTO345

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.

SUBJECT: 2005 AGOA FORUM INPUT 
 
REF: STATE 31066 
 
On March 14, Emboff spoke with Luis Sitoi, Advisor to the 
Minister of Industry and Commerce, and delivered text of 
reftel. The text of reftel was also forwarded to the 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Sitoi expressed that the 
GRM would be interested in participating in the AGOA Forum in 
Dakar, and said that the possible forum topics mentioned in 
the reftel sounded positive, but said he needed to know more 
about the specific content of the forum. He added that 
Mozambique would benefit most specifically from seminars and 
training to learn about U.S. sanitary and phytosanitary 
regulations, and means by which Mozambique could improve 
their labeling and inspection systems in order to meet U.S. 
standards. Post agrees with Mr. Sitoi's suggestion, and 
recommends that the AGOA Forum cover U.S. import requirements 
in depth.
