(U) MFA Action Officer on Middle East reform issues Brigitte
Curmi confirmed to us April 11 that a working-level expert
from the MFA Directorate of International Cooperation will
attend the April 24-26, 2005 G8-BMENA Literacy Workshop in
Algiers (reftel), along with a representative from the French
embassy in Algiers. Curmi welcomed the updated information
on U.S. participation, and asked for a list of U.S.
participants. She confirmed that the GoF was not planning to
make a presentation on the topics outlined reftel at the
Algiers meeting. She clarified that the MFA instead was
working on a paper for presentation at the May G8-BMENA
education ministerial, which would outline the French vision
and experience on education reform, and stress the need to
take a comprehensive approach.
