(C) On September 8, poloff delivered reftel talking points to
Dr. Khaled Al Takhayneh in the Department of International
Relations and Organizations at the Jordanian Foreign
Ministry. Takhayneh responded that the GOJ would likely
support amending the UN convention for the Suppression of
Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (SUA)
but was unsure how the provisions for boarding ships would be
viewed by Jordanians with maritime interests and the
Jordanian parliament. His concern was focused on the
ship-boarding provision as he feared the language might be
difficult for some Jordanians to accept. Takhayneh thought
the GOJ position on amending the SUA would not be formulated
until the conference to adopt the new provisions is held in
late October.
