SUBJECT: FRANCE: COMMUNITY OF DEMOCRACIES DEMARCHE
DELIVERED

REF: STATE 151024

(SBU) We carried our reftel demarche on November 2 with MFA
IO action officer Emmanuel Pineda, who expressed appreciation
for U.S. views on the Community of Democracies meeting in
Bamako November 14-17, particularly concerning the
composition of the U.S. delegation. He said that the French
delegation had not yet been determined but that he would
inform us when able to do so. He said that he would also
respond to our demarche once he and his colleagues have had a
chance to study it further. As on previous occasions, Pineda
was not optimistic that France would be able to offer
monetary support to the conference or to Mali as host of the
conference.
