US embassy cable - 04ABUDHABI3741

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 October 20, EconChief called MinEcon Assistant 
Undersecretary for International Cooperation Abdulla Al-Saleh 
to discuss steps the UAEG has taken to resolve our Arab 
League boycott concerns.  Al-Salah said that the Ministry of 
Economy and Commerce had instructed government agencies and 
parastatal companies (including Etisalat and ADNOC) to 
implement the UAEG's decision renouncing the secondary and 
tertiary aspects of the Arab League boycott.  He explained 
that the instructions also defined the different aspects of 
the boycott.  Al-Saleh also encouraged EconChief to refer any 
American company to him that faced boycott requests. 
 
2.  (SBU)  Comment:  The UAEG is acting on its political 
commitments that the UAE will not/not implement the secondary 
and tertiary aspects of the boycott.  Post will continue to 
pursue this issue with the UAEG and with U.S. businesses to 
ensure that they follow through with their actions.  End 
Comment.
