Viewing cable 09ALGIERS1072, ALGERIA AND THE PRESIDENT'S ANNOUNCEMENT ON

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: STATE 122731 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU) Charge discussed reftel points with Algerian MFA 
Director General for the Americas, Sabri Boukhadoum on 
December 1.  Charge said we wanted to preview the President's 
speech because Algeria is a close partner in security matters 
and in light of Foreign Minister Medelci's upcoming visit to 
Washington.  Boukhadoum expressed appreciation for the 
preview of this important U.S. foreign policy announcement. 
He commented that although Afghanistan and Pakistan were far 
removed from North Africa, Algeria and its President followed 
events there closely:  Algeria continued to confront first 
hand Algerians who had fought in Afghanistan and then 
returned as radicals.  Partly to reduce this continuing 
phenomenon, Boukhadoum said that Algeria hopes that the U.S. 
commitment in Afghanistan will not be open-ended, as 
President Obama has promised.  He stressed the value of 
U.S.-Algerian cooperation on terrorism and, speaking as a 
newcomer to his position, said we should expand our overall 
relationship to the point where we are allies in all but 
name.
