1. (C) In an April 8 meeting with MFA U/S Khaled Al-Jarallah,
CDA delivered reftel points about the June 12 Paris
Conference. Al-Jarallah said the GOK had not yet received a
formal invitation.


2. (C) CDA also highlighted the USAID-GOA-sponsored April
20-23 Donor Coordination Event in Kabul acknowledging that
the timing was difficult for the GOK due to the simultaneous
Iraq Neighbors Conference in Kuwait. CDA advised that this
may nevertheless be a good opportunity for the Kuwait Fund to
explore debt forgiveness or debt restructuring with the GOA
as well as prospective future projects. U/S Al-Jarallah
agreed that the timing was problematic but speculated that
the Kuwait Fund may send a representative.


3. (C) Post will follow up with the GOK to determine its
level of participation in both events.
