US embassy cable - 05KUWAIT1677

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.

2.  (SBU)  PolChief discussed reftel demarche with Hamad 
Al-Ahmad, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Counselor - Chief of 
Asian Affairs on April 20 and 24.  Al-Hamad reported that 
Kuwait pledged $30 million at the January 2002 Tokyo 
International Conference on Reconstruction Assistance to 
Afghanistan, and approximately $135 million at the 2004 
Berlin Donors' Conference.  While Kuwait supports efforts to 
ensure that Afghanistan is a stable, democratic state, the 
latter pledge has yet to be approved by the Council of 
Ministers and it would premature to make new commitments 
before the Council acts.
