US embassy cable - 04MANAMA1475

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) Pol/Econ chief September 21 delivered reftel 
demarche regarding the Tokyo donors' meeting for Iraq to MFA 
Director for Bilateral Affairs Dhafer Al-Umran.  He noted 
that he had already been approached by both the Japanese and 
Iraqis concerning Bahraini participation in the meeting.  He 
stated that the GOB considered it important to attend and 
participate in the meeting.  While his government had stated 
earlier that it could not afford to make a financial 
contribution, it was willing to contribute in kind.  For 
example, Bahrain would host an Iraqi delegation the week of 
September 25 for training on the operation of stock markets, 
and the Ministry of Interior would soon host training for 
Iraqi civil defense forces firefighting specialists.
