(C) Polchief delivered ref A demarche to UAE Ministry
of Foreign Affairs' Director of European and American
Affairs Ahmed Al-Muqarrab on May 18. Polchief
reviewed past USG discussions with the UAEG during
which the Embassy urged the UAE to subscribe to the
ICOC. The latest meeting was in March 2004 between
Commerce U/S Juster and UAE Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Shaykh Hamdan
bin Zayed (ref B). Al-Muqarrab confirmed that the UAE
Armed Forces GHQ staff is still reviewing the question
of whether to subscribe to the ICOC. Polchief left
both the reftel talking points and the sample note
verbale with Al-Muqarrab. U.S. Liaison Office Chief
and Polchief expect to meet before the end of the
month with UAE Deputy Armed Forces Chief of Staff
Major General Hamad Thani Al-Rumaithy to follow up
with this issue.
