US embassy cable - 05KUWAIT3398

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)  In a July 31 meeting with Charge d'Affaires, Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Khaled Al-Jarallah said that 
Kuwait's position on the G-4 UNGA resolution to expand the UN 
Security Council is "not far from the U.S. position." 
Previously, Al-Jarallah more clearly stated Kuwait's 
intention of voting against the G-4 resolution (refs B and 
C).  The GOK has yet to publicly declare its official 
position despite Al-Jarallah's stated intention to do so (ref 
C).
