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: MOROCCO INTERESTED IN ARMS CONTROL FOLLOWING THE 
PRESIDENT'S VISIT TO RUSSIA 
 
REF: A. STATE 071326 
     B. RABAT 0591 (NOTAL) 
 
1.  (SBU) On July 10, Charge delivered the demarche on the 
President,s visit to Russia (Ref A) to Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs and Cooperation Secretary General Youssef Amrani, the 
number three in the Ministry.  Amrani appreciated the 
information and was most interested in arms control issues 
since Morocco has worked with the United States and Russia on 
the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism (GICNT) and 
would like to be invited to any arms control conferences (Ref 
B). 
 
2.  (SBU) Comment:  In general, Morocco maintains a solid, 
balanced, and positive relationship with Russia which is 
growing but still limited.  However, over 12,000 Moroccans 
have studied in Russia since 1956.  In 2008, Morocco imported 
USD 1.58 billion worth the goods from Russia, including 
petroleum, iron, sulphur and cereals; Morocco exported citrus 
and vegetables valued at USD 180 million to Russia.  Morocco 
welcomed 17,000 Russian tourists in 2008 and has made efforts 
to increase that number in 2009.  End Comment.
