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.

C O N F I D E N T I A L MANAMA 001689 SIPDIS DEPT FOR NEA/FO AND NEA/ARPI E.O. 12958: DECL: 11/09/2014 TAGS: OVIP, PREL, BA SUBJECT: KING HAMAD VISIT TO WASHINGTON Classified By: Ambassador William T. Monroe for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) 1. (C) In a November 8 discussion following Deputy Secretary Armitage's meeting with King Hamad the night before SIPDIS (septel), Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr. Mohammad Abdul Ghaffar told the Deputy Secretary the King wanted to meet with President Bush in Washington in the coming weeks to discuss ways Bahrain could be helpful as current chair of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). In particular, he noted the upcoming GCC summit December 20 when the issues of Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and counterterrorism were likely to be discussed. The Deputy Secretary said he would pass the message. 2. (C) Embassy Manama urges positive consideration of a visit. It would be a good opportunity to raise with the King not only GCC issues in preparation for the summit, but also key bilateral issues on our agenda, most notably counterterrorism. MONROE
