1. (SBU) On October 20, EconChief called MinEcon Assistant
Undersecretary for International Cooperation Abdulla Al-Saleh
to discuss steps the UAEG has taken to resolve our Arab
League boycott concerns. Al-Salah said that the Ministry of
Economy and Commerce had instructed government agencies and
parastatal companies (including Etisalat and ADNOC) to
implement the UAEG's decision renouncing the secondary and
tertiary aspects of the Arab League boycott. He explained
that the instructions also defined the different aspects of
the boycott. Al-Saleh also encouraged EconChief to refer any
American company to him that faced boycott requests.
2. (SBU) Comment: The UAEG is acting on its political
commitments that the UAE will not/not implement the secondary
and tertiary aspects of the boycott. Post will continue to
pursue this issue with the UAEG and with U.S. businesses to
ensure that they follow through with their actions. End
Comment.
