Cordero, Director of Multilateral Policy at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs (MFA) and Guisella Sanchez, head of the Human
Rights Division at the MFA, to discuss talking points from
reftel delivered to Cordero on August 4.

2. (SBU) Sanchez indicated that the GOCR has not issued a
formal position on the creation of a new UN forum on
migration, but in general, believes, as does the USG, that
regional discussions on migration are preferable to
international forums of the type envisioned by the Secretary
