DEPT. FOR AFF TAGS: DFA, MIN, VAD SUBJ: STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS - 08/07/2019 REF: VAD 2299 Classified by: Ambassador Alex Irving ---------- Summary ---------- 1. The revelations from the meeting with the foreign minister of Vadare carries significant strategic implications for Idemore. 2. Their proposal suggests an attempt to exploit our dependence on crude oil imports: 2.1. Our continued economic growth is dependent on crude oil imports from Vadare. 2.2. Vadare appears to be issuing a veiled threat should we refuse to accept this "offer". 2.3. Either accepting or rejecting will be politically and/or economically problematic for Idemore. 2.3.1. Accepting these demands is tantamount to surrendering our sovereignty and will have significant political implications for the current administration. 2.3.2. Rejecting these demands may encourage Vadare to implement measures that hinder oil imports and will have significant implications for economic growth. |
