SUBJECT: FRENCH PARTICIPATION IN THE DECEMBER 4-5 KABUL
CONFERENCE
REF: STATE 211164
(SBU) We shared and discussed reftel points separately with
MFA's South Asia and Economic Directorates. Initially, MFA
Afghanistan Desk Officer told us that Anne Grillo-Nebout, the
Deputy-Director (DAS-equivalent) for South Asia would be
attending. However, subsequently, the G-8 Office in the
Economics Directorate explained to us that Ms. Grillo-Nebout
would not attend and that France will be represented
exclusively by their Ambassador, Regis Koetschet, resident in
Kabul. Neither directorate wanted to elaborate further on
expectations the GOF may have for the conference.
