Viewing cable 07BRUSSELS124, BELGIAN PM PLANNING TO ANNOUNCE FURTHER SUPPORT

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.

1.  (SBU) SUMMARY: GOB officials have stated that Belgium 
will be represented at the January 25 Lebanon Donors' 
Conference in Paris by Prime Minister Verhofstadt and 
Minister of Cooperation and Development Armand De Decker. 
Although GOB officials confirm that Belgium plans to announce 
further support beyond the 5.2 million euros already pledged, 
officials were reluctant to disclose the details.  END SUMMARY 
 
2.  (SBU) On January 16, Econoff spoke with Hendrik Van de 
Velde, Desk Officer for Lebanon in the Belgian MFA, and 
Michel Lastschenko, Advisor in the Ministry of Cooperation 
and Development.  Van de Velde stated that he would let the 
Belgian PM make the announcement, which he said would be much 
more than what Belgium pledged at Stockholm.  He also stated 
that Belgium was reviewing the extension of a loans agreement 
with Lebanon.  Lastschenko, meanwhile, confirmed further 
Belgian support, but stated that it is "far too early" to 
share the details.
