US embassy cable - 05MUSCAT997

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.

1. (U) In further response (refs B and C) to our demarche on 
ref A points encouraging Omani support for the Iraqi 
government and re-establishing a diplomatic presence in 
Baghdad, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a Note Verbale 
to the Embassy dated June 20. 
 
2. (SBU) In its communication, the Ministry reaffirmed its 
unstinting support for the Iraqi government, pointing to the 
high-level reception accorded to the Iraqi Finance Minister 
during his recent visit to Muscat.  The Ministry cited its 
close contact with the local Iraqi employees of the Omani 
Embassy in Baghdad, however, in determining that the current 
security situation there is not yet suitable for Omani 
diplomats.
