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.

E.O. 12958: DECL: 06/19/2015
TAGS: PREL, PGOV, EAID, IZ, MU, International Relations
SUBJECT: OMAN TO ATTEND IRAQ INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
REF: A. SECSTATE 112917
B. SECSTATE 111894
C. MUSCAT 904
Classified By: Ambassador Richard L. Baltimore III.
Reason: 1.4 (b, d).
1. (C) Per refs A and B, on June 19, the Embassy delivered
copies of the draft conference statement for the upcoming
Iraq International Conference in Brussels to the Foreign
Ministry, as well as the list of small-scale project
suggestions that states may wish to fund to aid Iraq's
reconstruction and transition.
2. (C) In a brief conversation June 19, Under Secretary of
Foreign Affairs Sayyid Badr al-Busaidi, just returned from
the NAM Summit in Doha, confirmed to the Ambassador that he
will be representing Oman in Brussels. (Note: Minister
Responsible for Foreign Affairs Yusuf bin Alawi will be in
Singapore during the Brussels Conference, addressing the
Asia-Middle East Dialogue. End note.) The Ambassador
discreetly inquired as to whether the Sultanate will have
anything to announce at the Brussels conference, to which the
Under Secretary coyly replied "We will see." Asked about the
invitation for Iraqi FM Zebari to visit Muscat (ref C),
Sayyid Badr noted that he chatted with the Iraqi Deputy
Foreign Minister during the NAM Summit in Doha, and was told
that Baghdad is still considering possible dates. The ball,
he indicated, is in Iraq's court. (Note: Oman played host to
visiting Iraqi Finance Minister Dr. Ali Allawi on June 13.
End note.)
