4, PRC Ministry of Public Security unexpectedly cancelled its
participation in upcoming ILEA Bangkok Supervisory Criminal
Investigators Course (SCIC) Session 26 February 16 to March
27, 2009.

2. (SBU) Post has nothing to indicate that this decision
represents a Chinese decision not to participate in future
ILEA Bangkok courses. Instead, a miscommunication within the

cancellation.

of Public Security to avoid such a cancellation in the future.
