US embassy cable - 04NEWDELHI8264

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.

REF: STATE 269653 
 
Responding to our December 29 demarche on ratifying 
counterterrorism conventions and protocols (reftel), 
Bhutanese Embassy official Karma Rinchhen told Poloff that 
"Bhutan would be happy to join international counterterrorism 
efforts."  He noted, however, that the National Assembly must 
approve all conventions and protocols in order for 
ratification to occur, and that this can take some time.  He 
promised to convey our points to Foreign Ministry officials 
in Thimpu, who would be responsible for submitting any 
documents to the National Assembly for ratification.  We will 
follow up.
