US embassy cable - 05KUWAIT4684

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. (SBU) As reported in ref B, Ambassador met with Finance 
Minister Bader Al-Humaidhi on November 1 to commend the GOK 
for its $100M pledge and to urge increased GOK assistance to 
earthquake relief efforts in Pakistan.  Without offering 
specifics, Al-Humaidhi said that the initial $100M package 
was "only the start" of the GOK's relief efforts. 
 
2.  (SBU) The GOK will be closed for the Muslim Eid holiday 
(November 3-6).  Embassy will follow-up with relevant GOK 
ministries after Eid to gauge the possibility of additional 
GOK pledges by the November 19 conference and will report 
findings to Washington.
