Viewing cable 07PORTAUPRINCE861, DEMARCHE DELIVERED: SAMOA GRADUATION FROM ECOSOC

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.

SUBJECT: DEMARCHE DELIVERED: SAMOA GRADUATION FROM ECOSOC 
LDC LIST 
 
REF: SECSTATE 54163 
 
The foreign ministry's director of political affairs Weiner 
Jean Baptiste agreed that Samoa should adhere to the Economic 
and Social Council's (ECOSOC) graduation process.  If not, 
the least developed countries (LDC) list loses its 
credibility, and countries like Haiti that should be 
recognized for their "severe structural handicaps" do not get 
the attention they deserve and need.  Jean Baptiste agreed 
that Samoa should embrace graduation and said that he hoped 
to see Haiti graduate from the LDC list one day.  Jean 
Baptiste, apparently unsure of Haiti's position is the past, 
said that he would discuss the issue with the GoH 
representative in New York in advance of the vote, now 
scheduled to be held sometime in late May.
