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 54943 
 B. QUITO 208 
 
1.  (SBU) On May 29, EconCouns discussed Ref A points, urging Ecuador 
to vote in the June 3 vote on Kosovo's membership in the World Bank, 
with Ambassador Lourdes Puma, Director General for Multilateral 
Affairs in the Foreign Ministry.  Puma said that participating in the 
vote would be implicit recognition of Kosovo's status as an 
independent country, and Ecuador is awaiting a ruling by the 
International Court of Justice in the Hague before taking a position 
on Kosovo's independence (Ref B).  When asked directly if Ecuador 
would vote on Kosovo's World Bank membership request, Puma said that 
would be unlikely, and that if Ecuador were to vote it would vote 
"no." 
 
2.  (SBU) EconCouns sought to discuss this matter with Under 
Secretary of Public Credit at the Ministry of Finance, but the Under 
Secretary was unavailable.
