US embassy cable - 04KUWAIT126

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: IRAQ:  KUWAIT TO HOST THIRD "NEIGHBORING 
COUNTRIES" MEETING EARLY FEBRUARY 
 
1.  Kuwait is due to host the third meeting of the 
"neighboring countries" of Iraq, shortly after Eid al-Adha 
which ends February 3.  The Iraqi Governing Council (IGC), 
presumably represented by Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zeibari, 
will be invited.  Bahrain will attend in its capacity as 
Chair of the Arab League.  (Kuwait, as it happens, is the new 
Chair of the GCC.) 
 
2.  The GOK has been an ardent champion of the IGC since its 
inception, and can be expected to use this opportunity to 
bolster support for the Iraqi political transition process. 
 
3.  Baghdad minimize considered.
