US embassy cable - 04MANAMA331

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.

TAGS: EAID, PREL, PGOV 
SUBJECT: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AFGHANISTAN --BAHRAIN 
REPLY 
 
REF: STATE 047946 
 
Classified By: Charge d'Affaires, Robert Ford.  Reason:  1.4 (B) and (D 
). 
 
1.  (C)  Charge delivered ref demarche to MFA Minister of 
State on Monday, March 8.  Charge emphasized Afghanistan's 
major reconstruction needs.  The Minister of State was not 
aware of the conference but understood our request and said 
he would study it. 
 
2.  (C)  Comment:  Bahrain does not see itself as a wealthy 
Gulf state and is not likely to provide a large contribution 
to Afghanistan.  Notably, Bahrain has not contributed large 
amounts of money in Iraq either, even though the GOB 
perceives more immediate national interests at stake there. 
End comment. 
FORD
