(U) Econ Off and POL Intern delivered reftel talking points to
Deputy Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Communications Halldor
Kristjansson on July 10 and followed up with a diplomatic note.
Kristjansson commented that many others are seeking Iceland's
support at the UPU Congress and he could not comment on whether or
not Iceland will support U.S. objectives at the Congress. He said
that likely the Icelandic Ambassador in Geneva would head the
delegation, along with a representative from the Ministry for
Foreign Affairs.
