2. AIDES-MEMOIRE
An “aide-memoire” is a form of diplomatic document the main object of which is to remind
the addressee of a matter discussed, either formally or informally. The word “aide-memoire” is
of French origin and means literally “memory-helper”.
As a rule, this document is presented during a talk with the intention of drawing the attention
of the counterpart to what has been said, to the importance of the question raised, and, in some
cases, to emphasize that the person who presents the papers expects certain measures to be taken
on the part of the receiver. Like notes, an aide-memoire may touch upon substantial issues,
though it happens quite rarely. More often, it concerns everyday practical matters. Aide-memoire
are never signed, but are sometimes initialed.
