Viewing cable 07OTTAWA249, CANADA: NO POSITION YET ON LIBERIA'S ARREARS, WILL

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

(sbu) In response to refs b and c, Foreign Affairs desk 
officer for Liberia Harsha Sirur reiterated to Econcouns that 
Canada would send an embassy representative to the February 
13-14 Liberia Partners Forum in Washington (see ref d).  He 
said, however, that no Canadians would likely attend the 
private sector conference on February 15.  Sirur, who has 
just returned from an extended visit to western Africa, 
stated that Canada's Department of Finance is still working 
on the government's position regarding the clearance of 
Liberia's arrears to the IFIs - and may have a decision next 
week before the Forum meets.  Sirur commented that Canada is 
pleased to see movement toward helping Liberia, but made it 
clear that his government is focusing its assistance efforts 
in western African on countries such as Ghana, Mali, Niger, 
Sierra Leone, and Cote d'Ivoire.
