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.

On October 14 post forwarded (Ref A) correspondence from Secretary Rice, under cover of a letter from the Ambassador, SIPDIS to Foreign Minister Celso Amorim. To date, we have not received a response from the GOB. Similarly, on October 17 post forwarded Ref B letter from Secretary Gutierrez, under cover of a letter from Ambassador Danilovich, to Development, Industry and Trade (MDIC) Minister Luis Furlan. Again, to date, we have not received a response from the Brazilian government to this second letter. 2. Mission FCS officers have raised the matter of the UNESCO Cultural Diversity Convention with business counterparts in both Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. In general, our private sector interlocutors have pled ignorance of this issue and directed us to either the Ministry of Culture or MDIC. Notwithstanding our efforts, the UNESCO Convention remains a low-profile issue within Brazil. DANILOVICH
