    REF: STATE 06391; BRASILIA 0062

    CLASSIFIED BY: Lisa Kubiske, Charge d'Affaires, a.i., State, Embassy
    Brasilia; REASON: 1.4(B), (D)

    ¶1. (C) In separate meetings with the Charge on January 22, Chief of
    the Ministry of Defense (MOD) General Staff Admiral Joao Afonso
    Prado Maia de Faria ("ADM Prado Maia") and Foreign Ministry (MRE)
    Under Secretary for Latin America Antonio Simoes both said they saw
    no conflict between the United States and Brazil. Both saw an
    opportunity for our governments to work more closely together,
    noted that the media was playing up supposed friction between us,
    and stressed their interest in greater coordination. In advance of
    the Montreal foreign ministers' meeting on January 25, President
    Lula made available 375 million reais (approximately US$208
    million) to support Brazil's relief effort to Haiti, and committed
    to send up to an additional 1300 troops to support MINUSTAH. End
    Summary.

    MOD: GOOD COOPERATION BETWEEN FORCES, HOPE FOR MORE

    ¶2. (C) Charge d'Affaires, accompanied by the Defense Attache,
    Military Liaison Office Chief and Air Attache, met with Prado Maia
    (the equivalent in Brazil of the U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
    of Staff) to discuss Brazilian and United States cooperative
    efforts in the ongoing post-earthquake Haitian humanitarian crisis.
    After receiving U.S. official condolences for the loss of Brazilian
    civilian, diplomatic, and military lives as a result of the
    earthquake, Prado Maia thanked the United States for its
    cooperation with MINUSTAH and Brazil. According to Prado Maia, in
    a video teleconference held on January 20 with the "Crisis Cabinet"
    stood up by President Lula specifically for the Haiti crisis,
    MINUSTAH Commander Lieutenant General Floriano Peixoto was effusive
    in his praise of U.S. cooperation with MINUSTAH and Brazilian
    forces, as well as of his personal relationship with Lieutenant
    General Keen. Peixoto had said that coordination and cooperation
    were going extremely well under very trying circumstances. Prado
    Maia thanked the United States for our efforts to reach out and
    cooperate with MINUSTAH and Peixoto. He pointed out that the press
    was making much of supposed friction between our two forces, but
    that was clearly untrue, according to Peixoto.

    ¶3. (C) Prado Maia said Brazil would be replacing its contingent in
    Haiti - despite UN objections - starting this weekend, albeit eight
    days later than originally planned because of the earthquake. He
    did not see this as a problem given the Brazilian military
    extensively prepares its troops prior to deployment for duty in
    MINUSTAH. He added that the Brazilian Navy, slow to get into the
    fray, was sending a medical surgical team and one SUPER PUMA cargo
    helicopter to Haiti on an Italian Aircraft Carrier passing through
    Brazilian waters next week en route to Haiti. Finally, Prado Maia
    closed by expressing the desire of the Brazilian Defense Ministry
    and Armed Forces to coordinate and cooperate more in Haiti with the
    United States as each country built up forces to assist the
    Haitians.

    ¶4. (C) Charge, DATT, and MLO Chief briefed Prado Maia on the
    possibilities and benefits of signing an Acquisition and
    Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA) to facilitate logistics for the
    mission in Haiti. Prado Maia expressed interest in learning more
    and speculated that the Crisis Cabinet, on which he holds a seat,
    might be a good venue to fast track the agreement if both sides
    could settle the language. (Note: Post has a boiler-plate of the
    ACSA in Portuguese and will get it over to Prado Maia first thing
    next week. End note.)

    MRE: NO CONFLICT, BUT MORE COMMUNICATION IMPORTANT

    ¶5. (C) Charge, accompanied by POLCOUNS, began her discussion of
    Haiti with Simoes by delivering points ref A regarding the
    importance of following ICAO procedures in requesting slots at
    Port-au-Prince airport, and encouraged Simoes to come directly to
    her (or to POLCOUNS as back-up) regarding any VIP visitors so she
    could ensure appropriate handling. Simoes said he understood, and
    would seek to ensure the protocols were followed even as he gave a
    "heads up" to her on critical flights.

    ¶6. (C) Simoes said he sees in the Haiti relief effort an
    opportunity to further improve U.S.-Brazilian cooperation, and
    noted he had said as much in a recent television interview. "We
    must seize the opportunity," he said, stressing that Brazil "is not
    competing with the United States" and is very happy with U.S.

    BRASILIA 00000019 002 OF 002

    efforts. He noted, however, that the media and certain countries
    in the region (he mentioned Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia) were
    seeking to exploit the U.S. presence and small incidents to create
    conflict between us.

    ¶7. (C) To manage the regional and media perceptions better, Simoes
    stressed the need for "increased channels of communication" so that
    neither Brazil nor MINUSTAH will be surprised by U.S. actions. He
    noted that the size and actions of the U.S. contingent could create
    problems-he cited the rumors of a U.S. occupation of Haiti and the
    landing of a U.S. helicopter on the lawn of the presidential palace
    as examples-and suggested that greater communication could have
    allowed MINUSTAH and Brazil to better support the U.S. actions.
    Simoes suggested that having an official in State or the White
    House designated to advise other active governments of U.S. actions
    in and regarding Haiti would be one way to improve communication.
    He also suggested that MINUSTAH liaison officers with U.S.
    forces-he specifically mentioned the USS Carl Vinson-could help.
    "The reason is not to change U.S. plans," he stressed, "but to help
    execute them successfully."

    LULA RELEASES NEW MONIES TO SUPPORT GOB EFFORTS

    ¶8. (SBU) In advance of the Montreal Foreign Ministers meeting,
    President Lula made available late on January 21 R$375 million
    (approximately US$ 208 million) to support MOD, MRE, and the
    Ministry of Health (MOH) efforts regarding Haiti. This includes
    the US$15 million already announced by MRE for relief supplies.
    R$135 million (approximately US$75 million) will go to MOH for ten
    Immediate Care Units and the acquisition of fifty ambulances.
    R$205 million (approximately US$114 million) will go to MOD to
    support the Brazilian troop presence. Lula has also decided to
    increase Brazil's MINUSTAH contingent by 900 troops, with an
    additional reserve of 400 troops-up to double its current forces in
    MINUSTAH. Simoes said the Montreal Foreign Ministers meeting would
    be a good opportunity to demonstrate the multilateral nature of
    efforts in Haiti. He suggested there should be a European
    presence, as well; "we need to open it up and encourage others to
    get involved," he said.

    COMMENT: DESIRE FOR MORE COORDINATION BEHIND THE SMILES

    ¶9. (C) The meetings between the Charge and both Prado Maia and
    Simoes were friendly and productive, much like those she has held
    with other senior GOB officials this week (ref B). Both were open
    to forwarding our relationship and sought to be helpful in offering
    suggestions. Clearly, we have turned a corner on the earlier
    friction caused by coordination problems at the Port-au-Prince
    airport, and the GOB is determined to see this as an opportunity
    both to increase cooperation with the USG and to enhance its own
    leadership standing. At the same time, the desire for greater
    communication by the USG with MINUSTAH, in the first instance, and
    the GOB in the second, is clear.

    ¶10. (C) Heading into the Montreal meeting, Brazil believes it has
    earned, through its long-term commitment to leading MINUSTAH and
    its mounting efforts to Haiti in the wake of the earthquake, the
    right to full partnership in the relief and reconstruction of Haiti
    going forward. The feeling seems to persist that the USG is not
    treating Brazil in that way. Continued USG acknowledgment of
    Brazil's leadership in Haiti and a commitment to communication and
    coordination will go a long way toward ensuring GOB support for USG
    efforts.
