Viewing cable 07OTTAWA1731, AUSTRALIA GROUP: CANADIAN FEEDBACK ON CERAMIC

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07OTTAWA1731.

SUBJECT: AUSTRALIA GROUP: CANADIAN FEEDBACK ON CERAMIC 
LINED VALVES 
 
REF: STATE 127221 
 
1.  (SBU) We delivered reftel presentation on ceramic-lined 
valves to Department of Foreign Affairs and International 
Relations (DFAIT) Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Policy 
Officer Kendra Davidson on September 13.  She expressed 
appreciation for the briefing and emphasized that Canada had 
raised the matter with the U.S. in an informational (vice 
case-driven) context. 
 
2.  (SBU) Davidson asked whether it made sense to U.S. 
officials for AG partners to look at other alloys besides 
titanium which, she understood, could also be treated with 
ceramic coatings.  She also suggested that that we consider 
sharing our take on this matter with the British and the 
South Koreans, if we had not done so already, since both had 
raised it in discussions with GOC officials. 
 
3.  (SBU) Davidson is available for further policy 
expert-to-expert discussion via phone: 613-944-1308, or 
E-mail: Kendra.Davidson@international.gc.ca.
