1. (U) Post received a note verbale (text below) from the
Arab League May 17, inviting U.S. participation for the
opening session of the "Iraqi National Accord Conference"
slated to be convened June 21, 2006 in Baghdad. The League

informed us May 16 that Secretary General Moussa and senior
Iraqi government officials recently agreed on dates for the
Baghdad conference (including a preparatory meeting June 20,
and the conference itself June 21-22). Arab League Iraq
envoy, Mohktar Lamani was currently in Baghdad preparing for
the gathering.


2. (U) Begin text of Arab League note:

The League of Arab States presents its compliments to the
Embassy of the United States of America in Cairo and has the
honor to extend an invitation to the U.S. Department of State
to attend the opening session of the Iraqi National Accord
Conference due to take place in Baghdad on 21 June 2006.

The League of Arab States hopes to receive the name(s) of the
representative(s) to this conference in the earliest possible
opportunity.

Complimentary closing.
