Viewing cable 07MANAMA165, GULF IRAQI EXPO POSTPONED

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.

1. (SBU) Iraqi Ambassador Ghassan Mohsen told the Ambassador 
that the planned Iraqi commercial exhibition "Iraqi Expo 
2007" (reftel), scheduled to take place March 24 - 26 in 
Manama, has been postponed.  Mohsen said that planning for 
the fair had been disrupted by the kidnapping of the Iraqi 
organizer.   Although the organizer had since been released, 
it was now deemed too late to put the fair on as scheduled. 
Mohsen surmised that lackluster interst in the Gulf may have 
also contributed to the postponement. (Comment: competition 
from a similar exhibition in Amman may have also been a 
factor.)  He said that it was hoped that the exhibition will 
be rescheduled for the fall. 
 
2. (U) Post will provide any updates regarding the 
rescheduling of this event when such information becomes 
available.
