Viewing cable 08KATHMANDU403, NEPAL NOT SENDING DELEGATE TO GLOBAL INITIATIVE EPG

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

1.  The Government of Nepal (GON) is unlikely to send any 
delegates to the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear 
Terrorism Exercise Planning Group (EPG) to be held in Paris, 
France on April 15.  The Deputy Chief of Mission extended 
invitation as requested in Ref B to Foreign Secretary Acharya 
on April 3.  On April 8, Emboff followed up with the duty 
officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) as per Ref 
A.  (Note:  GON offices, including the MFA, are closed April 
7-14 in observance of the Constituent Assembly election on 
April 10 and subsequent local holidays.  End note.)  The duty 
officer said he would contact the Foreign Secretary and 
inform post if the GON decided to participate in the EPG. 
 
2.  The GON has been unable to participate in any Global 
Initiative-related exercise to date because of a limited 
budget and lack of officials with relevant technical 
expertise (Ref D).  The GON has yet to form an interagency 
group to handle Global Initiative issues (Ref C).  Post does 
not anticipate movement on any major programs, including the 
Global Initiative, until well after the new Constituent 
Assembly sits, probably in May.
