SUBJECT: ACTION CABLES FOR EMBASSY ABU DHABI AND AMCONGEN DUBAI
1. (SBU) RECENTLY WE'VE NOTICED A NUMBER OF CABLES CALLING FOR ACTION
BY THE UAE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT HAVE BEEN MISDIRECTED TO DUBAI.
WHILE DUBAI HAS BECOME THE MORE FAMOUS CITY AS A RESULT OF ITS ROLE
AS A REGIONAL BUSINESS AND TOURISM HUB, ABU DHABI REMAINS THE CAPITAL
AND SEAT OF THE UAE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
2. (SBU) THE BASIC GUIDELINE IS THAT CABLES REQUIRING ACTION WITH
THE UAE FEDERAL (NATIONAL) GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SENT TO AMEMBASSY ABU
DHABI; CABLES REQUIRING ACTION IN DUBAI OR THE NORTHERN EMIRATES
ONLY SHOULD BE SENT TO AMCONSUL DUBAI,WITH INFO TO ABU DHABI. IF
THERE IS ANY DOUBT, SEND TO BOTH ADDRESSEES, AND WE'LL SORT IT OUT.
