Viewing cable 04KUWAIT126, IRAQ: KUWAIT TO HOST THIRD "NEIGHBORING

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: IRAQ:  KUWAIT TO HOST THIRD "NEIGHBORING 
COUNTRIES" MEETING EARLY FEBRUARY 
 
1.  Kuwait is due to host the third meeting of the 
"neighboring countries" of Iraq, shortly after Eid al-Adha 
which ends February 3.  The Iraqi Governing Council (IGC), 
presumably represented by Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zeibari, 
will be invited.  Bahrain will attend in its capacity as 
Chair of the Arab League.  (Kuwait, as it happens, is the new 
Chair of the GCC.) 
 
2.  The GOK has been an ardent champion of the IGC since its 
inception, and can be expected to use this opportunity to 
bolster support for the Iraqi political transition process. 
 
3.  Baghdad minimize considered.
