Viewing cable 07RABAT1022, MOROCCO'S PARTICIPATION IN COESPU

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

  • 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.

1.  (SBU) Poloff met June 12 with MFA Bilateral Affairs 
Officer Karim Halim to encourage Moroccan participation in 
the next round of COESPU courses.  Poloff explained, for the 
first time and in part based on Moroccan suggestion, COESPU 
will offer its courses in French taught by instructors from 
the French Gendarmerie.  Halim, while generally favorable to 
the new development, posed several questions he said would 
need to be resolved before he could provide a substantive 
response, including: How many French and English language 
slots are available for Morocco? How long will each course 
last? If Morocco can not fully fund its candidates, would 
U.S. funding assistance cover all associated costs in 
addition to travel? What countries would be included in a 
Mobile Assistance Team?  (Comment: Halim's inquires, while 
legitimate, are likely a tactic to provide additional time to 
obtain a coordinated GOM response on COESPU participation. 
End Comment.) 
 
2.  (SBU) On June 14, Italian DCM Luca Fratini told Polcouns 
that the Italian Embassy in Rabat had sent an official note 
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on June 13 that answered 
many of Halim's questions. (NB: As of June 18, the MFA had 
yet to respond to the Italian message.) Fratini explained, 
from the Italian point of view, the GOM's largest obstacle to 
COESPU participation has been removed and Morocco should 
reciprocate with maximum participation. The Italian Embassy 
also plans to encourage Moroccan attendance via its Defense 
Attache, added Fratini.  Post will report further responses 
septel.
