US embassy cable - 05ATHENS2781

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.  (C) Per reftel, Greek Foreign Minister Molyviatis 
informed Ambassador on October 25 that Greece will pledge 1.5 
million USD for the Foundation for the Future.  Molyviatis 
will provide Embassy with a letter confirming Greece's pledge 
as soon as possible.  Looking ahead to the November 11-12 
Forum for the Future meeting in Bahrain, Molyviatis confirmed 
that, if invited, he would attend (Greek PM Karamanlis is 
traveling to Japan at that time, but Molyviatis said his 
priority was BMENA). 
 
2. (C) ACTION REQUEST:  Embassy will forward to Washington 
Greek letter of intent as soon as it is received.  We 
understand that at preparatory meetings in London (Ref B), 
Forum for the Future reps agreed to invite to Bahrain all 
countries who pledged minimum contributions of one million 
USD for the Foundation.  We request Washington authorization 
to invite Greek Foreign Minister Molyviatis to the Bahrain 
meeting.  END ACTION REQUEST.
