1. On March 20, EconChief delivered reftel demarche to
Ministry of Finance A/US for Revenue and Budget Khalid Al-
Bustani. EconChief stressed our hope that the World Bank
Executive Board could approve this nomination quickly. Al-
Bustani promised to discuss our nomination with MinState
Khirbash (the UAE's Alternate Governor to the World Bank).
Al-Bustani said that the UAE would consider the U.S.
request. He noted, however, that the Kuwaiti Executive
Director representing the UAE also represents 12 other
countries (Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Maldives,
Syria, Yemen, and the GCC - except Saudi Arabia),implying
that the Executive Director would need to represent the
views of all of his constituents, not just the UAE.
