US embassy cable - 05PARIS7392

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.

(C) Poloff contacted IO Desk officer Benoit Guidee on October 
25 about encouraging Benin's support for bringing Burma 
before the UNSC.  Guidee informed embassy October 28 that the 
French mission in New York had broached the question with the 
Beninois delegation, whose "very clear" response had been 
"positive."  Quai d'Orsay did not pursue the matter with the 
Embassy of Benin in Paris, because any attempt to discuss 
Asian matters with that Chancery "risked falling into a 
vacuum."
