Viewing cable 10TUNIS43, TUNISIA: AMBASSADOR PUSHES CARTHAGE ON SCIENCE

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.

(SBU) In the course of the Ambassador's January 20 courtesy 
call, Presidential Chief of Staff Ahmed Ouederni cited 
science and technology (S&T) as an area in which the United 
States and Tunisia could deepen bilateral cooperation.  In 
reply, the Ambassador followed up on previous ministerial 
meetings (refs B-E) by noting that the 2004 U.S.-Tunisia S&T 
Agreement had yet to be ratified by the Government of 
Tunisia.  The Ambassador emphasized the importance of S&T 
cooperation as a component of the "new beginning" laid out in 
the President's Cairo speech and the Secretary's speech at 
the Forum for the Future in Marrakech.  Ouederni was 
apparently knowledgeable about the S&T Agreement but did not 
offer any reply.  On a related note, Ambassador raised the 
upcoming visit of Science Envoy Dr. Elias Zerhouni; Ouederni 
was familiar with Dr. Zerhouni and welcomed the visit.
