1. (C) A/DCM June 17 delivered reftel demarche concerning
the June 19-21 OIC Ministerial meeting in Baku to MFA
Assistant Under Secretary for Coordination and Follow Up
Shaikh Abdul Aziz bin Mubarak Al Khalifa. Shaikh Abdul Aziz
confirmed that Foreign Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al
Khalifa would represent Bahrain at the Ministerial and
promised to deliver the U.S. points to the Minister before
the Minister's departure for Baku. (He called later that day
to confirm that he had passed the information to the
Minister.) He commented that the NAM statement on Iran had
been one-sided and that the OIC statement should be better,
particularly at a time when there was some positive Iranian
reaction on the P-5 plus Germany incentives package.
2. (C) Shaikh Abdul Aziz noted there was talk of holding an
Iraq neighbors meeting on the margins of the Baku
Ministerial. The Iranian government wants to host a meeting
in Iran, but "no one likes that idea," he said. The meeting
in Baku would replace an Iraq neighbors meeting in Iran.
