US embassy cable - 02AMMAN6609

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: CUBA/UNGA: DEMARCHE DELIVERED TO JORDAN 
 
REF: STATE 223006 
 
Classified By: Political Counselor Doug Silliman.  Reasons 1.5 (b,d). 
 
1. (U) On November 11, Poloff conveyed reftel demarche urging 
Jordan to oppose, or at least abstain on, Cuba's anti-embargo 
UNGA resolution to Ayman Aamiri, Deputy Director of the MFA's 
IO Department.  Aamiri promised that the MFA would review the 
information we provided and share it with Jordan's Mission in 
New York as well.  He noted, however, that Jordan, 
historically, has always voted for the Cuba resolution and 
expected it would do so again this year. 
 
2. (C) The Ambassador later took advantage of a meeting with 
Foreign Minister Muasher to raise the issue with him. 
Muasher undertook to look into the matter, including the 
possibility of a shift in the traditional Jordanian position.
