1. (C) The Ambassador delivered reftel request to Foreign
Minister Shaykh Dr. Mohammed Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah during a
meeting August 27. The FM welcomed the invitation to the
meeting hosted by the Secretary on the margins of the UN
General Assembly and asked for more details on timing as they
are available. The Ambassador encouraged the FM to also
invite Dr. Ma'souma Al-Mubarak, the Minister of Planning and
Minister of State for Administrative Development Affairs and
Kuwait's first female minister. Shaykh Dr. Mohammed said he
appreciated the suggestion, but did not indicate whether she
would attend. (Comment: Minister Ma'souma's office confirmed
to PolChief that she would attend UNGA and responded
positively to suggestions that she include time on her
schedule for bilats with Department officials either in New
York or Washington. End comment.) The FM noted that
Kuwait's UN Permanent Representative, Nabeela Abdulla
Al-Mulla, would also be a likely participant.
2. (U) Post requests additional information on the meeting
