US embassy cable - 05AMMAN6116

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.

(C) Charge delivered reftel demarche July 31 to FM Qasrawi. 
Qasrawi replied that he was leaving for Egypt the morning of 
August 1 to meet with other foreign ministers prior to the 
summit, and that he understood the summit's limited agenda 
would address three subjects:  terrorism, Iraq and the 
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  He remarked that he did not 
know what issues would be raised with respect to Iraq, but 
that he understood that peace process discussions would focus 
on Gaza disengagement.  As Qasrawi expected substantive talks 
at the summit to be relatively brief (i.e., "a few hours"), 
he doubted that there would be time for debate on either the 
UN Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism or the 
issue of MDA membership in the International Red 
Cross/Crescent Movement.  Jordan's summit delegation had not 
yet been decided.
