SUBJECT: MESSAGE TO OIC ON ARAB LEAGUE BOYCOTT MEETING

REF: SECSTATE 39165

(SBU) In light of Congressional scrutiny of the U.S.-Oman
Free Trade Agreement, Omani officials were particularly
responsive to reftel request to eschew any role or
participation in the proposed OIC meeting on the Arab League
boycott. Foreign Ministry and Commerce Ministry officials
assured Emboffs there would be no Omani representative to any
future Israeli boycott meetings whatsoever. Indeed, a
Foreign Ministry official confirmed on March 15 that MFA sent
a circular to all of its overseas diplomatic missions during
the past week reminding its personnel that Oman does not/not
observe the Arab League boycott of Israel and that personnel
are forbidden from attending any boycott meetings.
