Viewing cable 06LISBON1803, PORTUGAL: URGING IRAN/SYRIA TO RESPECT ARMS EMBARGO

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

REF: SECSTATE 136196 
 
Pol/Econ officer met with MFA Middle East Affairs Officer 
Lilia Navais to urge Portugal to encourage respect for UN 
Security Council Resolution 1701.  Navais replied that 
Portugal fully supports the resolution and wants to see the 
Middle East stabilize as quickly as possible.  While she 
noted that Portugal does not itself play a big role in 
selling arms, she said it would attempt to control weapons 
distribution through international fora such as the Missile 
Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
