US embassy cable - 04MANAMA797

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: BAHRAIN CABINET APPROVES AMCHAM BAHRAIN 
 
On May 23 the cabinet, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and 
Minister of Islamic Affairs Sheikh Abdulla bin Khalid Al 
Khalifa, approved a proposal by Minister of Commerce Ali 
Saleh al Saleh to establish an American Chamber of Commerce 
in Bahrain.  Ambassador congratulated the Minister May 24, 
adding that it was a real victory having the AmCham under the 
purvue of the Ministry of Commerce rather than the Ministry 
of Labor and Social Affairs.  EmbOffs have discussed next 
steps with the founding committee, who are planning a 
membership drive in advance of board membership selection.
