SUBJECT: AMEMBASSY SANAA REENGAGES ROYG ON WALKER CANDIDACY
REF: A) STATE 149678 B) SANAA 1932
On October 28, EMBOFF met with Assistant Deputy Minister of
Foreign Affairs Khalid al-Akwa. EMBOFF engaged al-Akwa on
the Walker candidacy for election to the UN Independent Audit
Advisory Agency per ref a. Al-Akwa said that the issue had
been forwarded to the appropriate committee in the Ministry
after post's previous demarche on October 21 (ref b). He
was, however, still unable to give a definite response to our
request that the Ministry instruct its mission to support the
Walker candidacy.
