Viewing cable 09TRIPOLI361, LIBYA WILL NOT OPPOSE LETTERS TO IRAN, SYRIA; WILL CONTINUE

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

SUBJECT: LIBYA WILL NOT OPPOSE LETTERS TO IRAN, SYRIA;  WILL CONTINUE 
TO OPPOSE NOTE VERBALE 
 
REF: STATE 43057 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU) Ambassador, after coordinating with the French 
ambassador (UK COM was out with Tony Blair all day), raised 
reftel points with Mohammed Siala, Secretary for Arab Affairs of 
the General People's Committee for Foreign Liaison and 
International Cooperation (MFA-equivalent) on April 30.  Siala 
told the Ambassador that he was running the International 
Organizations branch of MFA while FM Musa Kusa was in Doha and 
IO Director Mahdi al-Majrabi was in Cuba, but that he was not 
familiar with the Monchegorsk incident.  After studying the 
points provided by Ambassador  and consulting with colleagues 
over P-3 demarche, Siala informed the Ambassador that Libya 
would not oppose sending letters to both Syria and Iran.  The 
GOL will continue to oppose issuing a Note Verbale to all UN 
Member states, however, citing both lack of precedent and that 
there were "quieter ways" to send the same message.  Siala said 
this position had been conveyed to UNPermrep Shalgham.
