US embassy cable - 05NEWDELHI4355

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.

SUBJECT: INVITATION DELIVERED, SARAN OUT OF TOWN 
 
REF: STATE 107200 NOTAL 
 
Classified By: Charge Robert Blake for Reasons 1.4(B, D). 
 
1.  (C) As Foreign Secretary Saran is away from New Delhi, 
Charge forwarded U/S Burns's invitation to Saran's office via 
letter, and called Acting Joint Secretary (Americas) Renu 
Pall to alert her to the invitation.  Pall called Charge 
later in the day to say that Saran already has committed to 
participate in the South-South Summit in Qatar from June 
14-16, after which he must return to New Delhi for Foreign 
Office consultations with Bangladesh on the 17th and other 
countries the following week.  Pall noted that the Indian 
PermRep also will be attending the South-South Summit, but 
could conceivably participate in talks in New York on June 17.

2.  (C) Although Saran may not be able to travel to New York, 
it may be possible to include him via digital video 
conference from Qatar.  We have NOT/NOT broached this with 
the GOI, pending instructions from Washington.
