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: YEMEN ASKS TO HOST FORUM FOR THE FUTURE SUMMIT
REF: A. STATE 177377
B. SANAA 2046
Classified By: Ambassador Thomas C. Krajeski; reasons 1.4 (b), (d).
1. (U) This is an action request. See paragraph 4.
2. (C) Ambassador discussed ROYG plans to participate in
follow-on initiatives to the Sea Island G-8 BMENA Plan of
Support for Reform with Deputy Foreign Minister Mustafa
No'man on September 7. No'man confirmed Foreign Minister
Qirbi's plans to participate in the September 24 Forum for
the Future ministerial meeting to be held on the margins of
UNGA. The DFM was unable to provide the sub-cabinet level
ROYG representative to the September 23-24 preparatory
meetings, but promised to inform the Embassy as soon as an
official is designated (ref A).
3. (C) No'man delivered a message to Ambassador from
President Saleh proposing that Yemen be the location for the
Middle East Forum for the Future summit. He suggested that
the event take place in December in Sana'a, following
Ramadan. The DFM asked Ambassador for U.S. support for Yemen
as host, and assistance in carrying out the summit. Calling
the participation of civil society NGO's in the proposed
summit a "sensitive issue," No'man requested NGO's be chosen
by the Council of Foreign Relations. No'man asked for an
answer before the September 24 ministerial on whether the USG
would support Yemen as host.
4. (C) Begin Action Request. Post requests guidance from
Washington on the future location of the Forum and possible
follow-on opportunities for Sana'a. End Action Request.
5. (C) Comment: The idea for the Sana'a Forum for the
Future summit is likely being proposed as a follow-on to the
January 2004 Sana'a Conference (ref B). Post appreciates
Saleh's initiative to keep reform and the outcomes of the
Sana'a conference moving forward, although we understand that
other venues are being considered. End Comment
