Viewing cable 07LISBON217, EARLY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT PORTUGUESE COMMUNITY OF

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
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07LISBON217.

THIS IS AN ACTION REQUEST.  PLEASE SEE PARA 6. 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: In preparation for Portugal's upcoming 
Presidency of the Community of Democracies (CD) Convening 
Group starting in November, the MFA called for a meeting to 
solicit input from some members' diplomatic missions in 
Lisbon.  The Ukrainian ambassador offered several suggestions 
in its role as CD co-chair with Romania; however the GOP is 
also interested in input from others and requested USG 
suggestions as part of its planning efforts.  Once its 
program is established, Portugal aims to hold tri-annual 
meetings in Lisbon to monitor progress.  End summary. 
 
2. (SBU) On January 19, MFA Secretary of State Joao Cravinho 
called a meeting with diplomatic representatives from the 
United States, Peru, the Ukraine, Romania, and Chile to 
brainstorm a structured CD Convening Group Presidency 
program.  Cravinho further solicited nominations of  African 
and Asian CD nations in Lisbon to ensure each region has 
representation in the local working meetings. (Note: All CD 
Convening Group addressees except Mali, the Philippines, 
Mongolia, and El Salvador have representation in Lisbon.) 
 
3. (SBU) Cravinho announced that current CD President Mali 
has focused on encouraging regional group participation in 
Community activities over the last year.  The Organization of 
American States (OAS) has been the most responsive to the 
overtures so far and the CD is co-chairing a Washington 
conference with them in February.  Other groups such as the 
Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP) and 
Economic Community of Western African States (ECOWAS) have 
indicated interest but have not yet formalized plans.  The 
European Commission is currently uninterested in establishing 
ties to the Community of Democracies, according to Cravinho. 
 
4. (U) As co-chair of the group, Ukrainian Ambassador 
Rostyslav Tronenko was able to respond immediately to 
Cravinho's request by listing several proposals that the 
Ukrainian MFA approved last year: 
 
A. General work goals: 
-- Share technical information with other nations; 
-- Increase dialogue to promote peace; 
-- Use "lessons learned" to strengthen human rights and 
democratic institutions; 
-- Support NGOs and intergovernmental institutions; 
-- Develop a ten year workplan. 
 
B. Focus attention on the CD by: 
-- Supporting nations working towards the development of 
democratic habits and goals (especially Transdniestria, 
Southern Caucusus, and Kosovo); 
-- Establishing a worldwide meeting to discuss democracy and 
challenges (perhaps to be hosted in Kiev along the lines of 
the Davos meeting). 
 
C. Formalize the process by: 
-- Scheduling one meeting per trimester for the working 
groups and allowing for special emergency sessions as needed; 
-- Finalizing and distributing the findings of the working 
groups. 
 
5. (SBU) COMMENT: The GOP's open invitation is an unexpected 
opportunity to reinvigorate the group and shape the 
Portuguese term so it will be both positive and productive. 
Portugal recognizes that it will not be able to focus fully

on the CD until after Portugal's EU Presidency ends in 
December 2007, but perhaps we could make use of the one-month 
overlap to encourage European interest.  End comment. 
 
6. (SBU) ACTION REQUEST: Post requests Department guidance on 
USG priorities for the Community and Portugal's two-year 
tenure.  If possible, we would welcome guidance by March 2 to 
ensure we can transmit suggestions at the next informal 
meeting.  End action request.
