(SBU) We delivered and discussed reftel points February 15
with Wahib, DFA Deputy Director for Middle Eastern Affairs,
and urged public expressions of congratulations from the
Indonesian Government to the Iraqi people on their successful
election and support for efforts to form a new government.
Wahib replied that the GOI was supportive of Iraq's
transition to democracy and optimistic that the Iraqis would
form a new government in due time. He stated that the GOI
would likely hold off on public statements until after an
Iraqi Prime Minister and President were in place, at which
time President Yudhoyono would offer a formal statement of
congratulations. Wahib said that staff from the Indonesian
Embassy in Amman had recently inspected GOI diplomatic
property in Baghdad, but the GOI was waiting for a more
stable security situation to re-open its mission in Iraq.
