(S) Royal Court Minister Samir Rifai confirmed to Charge
November 29 that the GOJ had no current plans to launch any
political initiatives related to Iraq's internal conflicts.
He said the GOJ effort to organize a conference in early
November for Iraqi Sunni Arabs had been at the request of IIG
PM Allawi, and that the decision to cancel the conference was
also a response to an Allawi request. Rifai noted that
Allawi, who is to visit Jordan December 1-2, may well be
planning to meet with Iraqis resident in Jordan, but that the
GOJ does not plan to play a role.
