1. (U) This is an action request. Please see para 3.
2. (U) Post received a diplomatic note from the Saudi Ministry of
Foreign Affairs informing us the SAG intends to nominate itself for
re-election to the Executive Council of the World Meteorological
Organization (WMO). Following is the text of the note:
Begin text: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs presents its
compliments to the Embassy of the United States in Riyadh and wishes
to inform the Embassy that the Government of Saudi Arabia has
decided to nominate itself for re-election to the Executive Council
of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The Government of
Saudi Arabia will nominate Dr. Samir Abdulillah Bukhari as the Saudi
representative on the WMO Executive Council for the next four-year
tenure during the WMO Congress in Geneva, May 7-23, 2007.
Saudi Arabia's decision is the result of its growing interest in
active participation and support of the WMO's mission and
objectives. Saudi Arabia believes in the important role that the WMO
plays in environment protection. Saudi Arabia is also a
scientifically and technologically advanced nation in the field of
meteorological protection and hosts a WMO regional communications
centre.
The Ministry hopes that the United States Government will support
Dr. Samir Bukhari's (biography attached) re-election to the WMO
Executive Council in view of Saudi Arabia's commitment to the
principles and objectives upon which the WMO was founded and based
on the special ties that exist between the governments of Saudi
Arabia and the United States.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the US Embassy the
assurances of its highest considerations." End text.
3. (U) Post would appreciate Departmental guidance on responding
to this note. A biography of Dr. Samir Bukhari has been provided in
ref B.
