REF: STATE 24422
(SBU) The Charge d'Affaires and Pol-Econ Chief delivered reftel
points March 17 to Lyutha al-Mughairy, Office Director for Ministry
of Foreign Affairs Secretary General Sayyid Badr al-Busaidi.
Al-Mughairy had no substantive response. On March 24, Omani Minister
for Foreign Affairs Yusef bin Alawi told the Ambassador that he
believed the Omani ambassador to the Netherlands would represent Oman
at the Dutch-hosted international conference on Afghanistan. The
following day, March 25, the Dutch ambassador to Muscat told Pol-Econ
Chief that he had recently received a call from al-Mughairy stating
that Oman's ambassador in The Hague would attend the conference for
the Sultanate, but adding that Sayyid Badr, who would be traveling in
Europe that week, was considering making a quick stop at the event.
