SUBJECT: FIJI DELIBERATES ASSOCIATING WITH COPENHAGEN ACCORD 
 
REF: STATE 3080 
 
¶1.  (U) Suva Acting DCM and Regional Environment Officer delivered 
reftel demarche to Sai Navoti, Director (Under Secretary 
equivalent), Political and Treaties Division, of the Fiji Ministry 
of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Civil Aviation 
(MFA).  Mr. Navoti stated that the government was deliberating on 
whether to associate with the Copenhagen Accord.  He said that the 
recommendation by the Ministry of Environment was to not associate 
with the accord.  The MFA however is stepping up within the 
government to promote association with the accord, he said. 
 
¶2.  (U) Given the urgency of the January 31 deadline, Navoti had 
reason to believe that PM Bainimarama would sign the document 
himself, as there was no time for the cabinet to debate the matter. 
 
 
¶3.  (U) Mr. Navoti disclosed that China and Japan had also delivered 
demarches to Government of Fiji requesting the country associate 
with the Copenhagen Accord.
