US embassy cable - 05NDJAMENA623

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: CHAD'S PARTICIPATION IN 2005 AGOA FORUM 
 
REF: STATE 031066 
 
1.  The Ambassador delivered points by letter from REFTEL on 
2005 AGOA forum to Minister of Commerce Routouang Yoma Golom. 
 On April 6, he met with the Minister to discuss the points. 
He emphasized the importance of Chadian participation this 
year, given the growing importance of its economy for 
US-Africa economic relations, and the lack of Chadian 
representation in past conferences. 
 
2.  The Minister said he would be present at the conference, 
and call on other Ministers dealing with trade issues to do 
the same.  Golom also noted his support for inviting members 
of the private sector and civil society.  The Minister did 
not offer any thoughts on possible topics of discussion at 
the Forum.  He did express interest in any further 
information we could provide about the difference between the 
2005 AGOA Forum and the CCA Business Summit to be held the 
following month. 
 
3.  To ensure that this issue does not lose momentum, Post 
will continue to encourage the appropriate Ministries and 
members of the private sector to participate in the 
conference.  We believe that topics of particular interest to 
Chadian participants would include developing production 
capacity for higher value textile products (e.g. yarn, 
fabric) and exporting specialized agricultural products (e.g. 
sesame).  Post would welcome any guidance on how to explain 
the difference between the 2005 AGOA forum and the CCA 
Business Summit.
