1. (SBU) In response to Department request for initial information
regarding attendance of UAEG officials at the 64th UNGA (reftel),as
of August 5 we have receive only a delegation list of middle and
lower level MFA officials requiring official visas (one first
secretary, three second secretaries, two third Secretaries, and 10
diplomatic attaches).
2. (SBU) Many senior UAEG officials are currently out of the country,
expected to return around 20 August for the beginning of Ramadan.
Past attendance suggests that the Emirati rep will not be UAE Head of
State or Head of Government attendance at UNGA. Foreign Minister
Abdullah bin Zayed al Nahyan, is likely to attend some portion of the
UNGA, but this has not been reported by the UAEG. Dr. Anwar Mohammed
Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affair may also attend.
4. (U) Post will provide updated travel and attendance information as
it becomes available.
