SUBJECT: FRANCE AVAILABLE FOR BILATERAL MEETINGS AT WILTON
PARK NONPROLIFERATION CONFERENCE

REF: STATE 197729

We approached Arnaud Mentre, desk officer in the MFA's
disarmament and non-proliferation bureau, December 12 to
propose a bilateral meeting on the margins of the Nuclear
Nonproliferation Conference at Wilton Park, UK (reftel).
Mentre said he would welcome a meeting with Christopher Ford,
U.S. Special Representative for Nuclear Nonproliferation, at
any time on December 20 following the day's scheduled
sessions. Mentre is the only representative from France who
will attend the conference. If that window does not work, he
said he would rearrange his schedule to find another mutually
convenient time.
