US embassy cable - 04KUWAIT956

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.

REF: KUWAIT 922 
 
Classified By: CDA FRANK URBANCIC; REASON:  1.4 (B, D) 
 
1. (S) MFA clarified to us March 24 that the next step in the 
AIK fuel issue (reftel) will be for Foreign Minister Shaykh 
Dr. Mohammed Sabah al-Salem al-Sabah to discuss it during his 
visit to Washington at the end of the month. 
 
2.  (S) Our assessment is that the GOK would like the USG to 
indicate what the minimum is that it expects/needs Kuwait to 
provide to avoid affecting the bilateral relationship or the 
chances of success in Iraq.   We believe this is an excellent 
opportunity to address resolution of the fuel issue in the 
context of the larger strategic relationship between the US 
and Kuwait. 
 
3.  (U) Baghdad minimize considered.
