US embassy cable - 05ACCRA1351

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: GHANA: DEMARCHE ON G-4 FRAMEWORK RESOLUTION ON UN 
REFORM 
 
REF: STATE 126870 
 
On July 8, the Ambassador delivered reftel demarche on USG 
views of the G-4 resolution on UN Security Council expansion 
to Hackman Owusu-Agyemang, Acting Foreign Minister and 
Minister for Works and Housing.  The Minister had no 
substantive response and requested the embassy also demarche 
the Deputy Foreign Minister on July 11.  The DCM and 
PolChief delivered the same demarche on July 11 to Deputy 
Foreign Minister Akwasi Osei-Adjei, who agreed that the broad 
agenda of UN reform was important and should not be derailed 
by the issue of UN Security Council expansion.  President 
Kufuor and Foreign Minister Akufo Addo will likely be at the 
UNGA but the GOG will follow the lead of the African Union in 
its position on UN Security Council expansion.  Osei-Adjei 
did not yet have a readout of the recent Tripoli meeting of 
the AU and the Foreign Minister's participation in 
discussions of UN reform.
