Affairs Mohammed Aini told us March 13 that Malaysia would
not attend the March 13-15 meeting in Jeddah of the liaison
officers of the Islamic Office for the Boycott of Israel. He
said that Malaysia had not participated in past such meetings
and saw no need to participate at this time. The Malaysian
mission in Saudi Arabia had been instructed not to send a
representative, Aini said. (Note: Malaysia is currently the
chair of the OIC.) Separately, the Malaysian DCM in
Washington informed EAP/MTS that his embassy had recommended
that Malaysia not attend the meeting (ref B).
