Alawi is accompanying Sultan Qaboos to official meetings
abroad in May (ref B) or will be otherwise occupied in Muscat

Secretary General Sayyid Badr al-Busaidi, who has ministerial
rank and often attends events in bin Alawi's stead, will also
be unavailable for the meeting in Sweden as he will
participate in the senior-level Proliferation Security
Initiative (PSI) event in Washington, D.C. on May 28 before
traveling onward to another commitment. Post will provide
further information via septel on who may represent the
government of Oman at the ICI Ministerial.
