Post delivered reftel demarche to MFA Director of
Multilateral Affairs Camilo Ruiz on April 14, including
urging the GOC to participate actively in the upcoming

increase its engagement in promoting democracy. On April 18
Isaura Duarte of the MFA's Multilateral Affairs Directorate
confirmed that FM Carolina Barco would head the GOC
delegation to the ministerial. Barco, just back from a trip

her brief visit to Colombia before the ministerial, no
requests for bilateral meetings in Santiago are anticipated.
