Viewing cable 08RIGA255, LATVIA: DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE CUBAN PEOPLE

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.

REF: A. State 45792, B. State 46997 
 
1. Per reftels, Post would like to place an op-ed in local media, 
and joins in Embassy London's request to receive generic text for 
such an op-ed from WHA.  In order to have time to translate the text 
into Latvian, we would ask that text be made available by May 16. 
 
2. In addition, we have spoken with the MFA regarding the May 21 
event, noting the active participation by their embassy in 
Washington at events to support Cuban democracy.  The MFA is 
currently considering how they may observe the Day of Solidarity 
with the Cuban People, and whether the GOL would like to participate 
jointly with Post in observance activities.
