US embassy cable - 04ABUDHABI2833

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.

1. (SBU) On August 22, DCM talked to MFA Assistant Under 
Secretary for Political Affairs Tariq Al-Haidan to ask 
 
SIPDIS 
whether the MFA had a response to our invitation to the 
BMENA forum preparatory meeting (reftels).  Al-Haidan said 
that he had passed the message on to Deputy Prime 
Minister/Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Sheikh 
Hamdan bin Zayed Al-Nahyan (HBZ), currently out of the 
country.  He added that the UAEG needed a few more days to 
prepare a formal response. 
 
2. (SBU) Informally, however, Al-Haidan said that Foreign 
Minister Rashed Abdullah Al-Noaimi would represent the UAEG 
at the UNGA and would also attend the BMENA meeting.  Al- 
Haidan added that he expected MFA Undersecretary Abdullah 
Rashid Al-Noaimi to serve as the Under Secretary level 
coordinator.
