Viewing cable 08PRETORIA2165, SAG ALMOST READY TO SIGN AGREEMENT ON NUCLEAR

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. #08PRETORIA2165.

(SBU) DFA Deputy Director Nuclear Disarmament and 
Non-Proliferation Michiel Combrink informed Energy Officer on 
October 1 that the SAG will be ready to sign the long-awaited 
bilateral Agreement on Cooperation in R&D in Nuclear Energy 
(reftels) in about four weeks pending final processing of SAG 
approval to sign.  (Embassy submitted DOE's final, mostly 
editorial changes, to the SAG by diplomatic note on June 10.) 
 The SAG is ready to discuss signing modalities.  The 
Department of Minerals and Energy previously told Economic 
Counselor that the SAG would prefer to sign this agreement at 
the ministerial level.  The SAG views signing the bilateral 
agreement as a precursor to launching a Joint Standing 
Committee on Nuclear Energy Cooperation (JSCNEC), also in 
discussion for an extended period.
