Nasser Mohammed Al-Sabah (Shaykh Ahmed),Chief of Staff to FM
Shaykh Dr. Mohammed, reftel themes pertaining to the July 31

themes, but suggested that the discussion on Iran not be
confined to WMD concerns but rather encompass a broader
review of Iran's role in regional security. "I assume our
Minister will want this," he said. Shaykh Ahmed also
inquired about a potential joint statement and asked that
Kuwait receive a copy of any draft statement at the earliest
possible opportunity. He confirmed that FM Shaykh Dr.
Mohammed would attend the July 31 GCC 2 meeting and would
return immediately to Kuwait to be on hand for the SecDef's
August 1 visit.
