(C) Charge delivered reftel demarche July 31 to FM Qasrawi.
Qasrawi replied that he was leaving for Egypt the morning of
August 1 to meet with other foreign ministers prior to the
summit, and that he understood the summit's limited agenda
would address three subjects: terrorism, Iraq and the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He remarked that he did not
know what issues would be raised with respect to Iraq, but
that he understood that peace process discussions would focus
on Gaza disengagement. As Qasrawi expected substantive talks
at the summit to be relatively brief (i.e., "a few hours"),
he doubted that there would be time for debate on either the
UN Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism or the
issue of MDA membership in the International Red
Cross/Crescent Movement. Jordan's summit delegation had not
yet been decided.
