US embassy cable - 05BANGKOK3790

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)  Poloff delivered reftel demarche on the UN 
Democracy Fund and discussed reftel points with Suvat 
Poopatanapong, Counselor of the International Organization 
Peace Security and Disarmament Division at MFA.  Suvat said 
the MFA had passed our request to the Thai UN Perm Reps in 
New York.  Suvat indicated that the Thai mission in New York 
would make the final decision as to whether or not Thailand 
would co-sign the letter to UNSYG Annan.

delegation directly regarding the proposed letter.  The RTG 
has two questions regarding the proposal: 1) How many other 
countries have agreed to co-sign? 2) How much money is the 
U.S. willing to contribute initially to the Fund? 
 
3.  (SBU)  Post requests that USUN New York contact the Thai
