    SUBJECT: NEW ZEALAND TROOPS RETURN FROM IRAQ; NO FUTURE
    DEPLOYMENTS SCHEDULED

    Classified By: POL/ECON COUNSELOR KATHERINE B. HADDA,
    REASON 1.5 (B, D)

    ¶1. (C) Summary: New Zealand's 12-month military deployment to
    Iraq ended September 25, with the homecoming of over 60
    engineers and support staff.  Prime Minister Helen Clark
    welcomed the troops, and issued a public statement confirming
    that no further deployments to Iraq are being considered.
    While ruling out military assistance, Clark did, however,
    indicate a willingness to provide additional aid funds, and
    to look favorably on a request from the UN for one or two
    military officers to serve in UN headquarters in Baghdad.
    Post continues to encourage the GoNZ to remain engaged in
    Iraq, but political and resource constraints virtually ensure
    Clark will not go beyond what she has already indicated.  End
    Summary.

    NZ Troops Return Home
    ----------------------

    ¶2. (U) New Zealand's 61-person Light Engineer Group was
    welcomed home September 25 by New Zealand Prime Minister
    Helen Clark and Defense Minister Mark Burton, ending NZ's
    military presence in Iraq.  The engineers, second 6-month
    deployment in Basra, Iraq had been hampered in recent weeks
    by deteriorating security conditions, but Clark stressed that
    the engineers had not simply waited out their time, but had
    remained in the hopes of completing more of their planned
    work.

    No Troops, But Financial Aid Possible
    -------------------------------------

    ¶3. (C) In media interviews Clark has made clear that the GoNZ
    is not considering sending either military or civilian aid
    personnel to Iraq, noting that the situation is "too
    difficult and too dangerous."  While ruling out military
    assistance, Clark has, however, stated publicly a willingness
    to provide additional aid funds, and to look favorably on a
    request from the UN for one or two military officers to serve
    in UN headquarters in Baghdad.  (Comment:  A senior MOD
    source told DCM that the New Zealand UN Mission had been
    instructed to work with the UN to ensure that an
    "appropriate" invitation would be issued once the UN was
    ready to return to Iraq.  End Comment.) In an interview with
    NZ media September 26, Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi
    emphasized that a secure Iraq would serve as a defense for
    New Zealand.  He listed a number of areas where the GoNZ
    could assist, including the provision of troops to protect UN
    agencies, technical assistance or participation in the
    multinational force.

    ¶4. (C) Comment:  Clark's insistence that further GoNZ
    assistance would be either solely financial, or at the behest
    of the UN is in keeping in tone with earlier comments.  She
    has always studiously refrained from linking NZ's presence in
    Iraq to the US and the Coalition, and consistently argued
    that her government's decision to deploy to Iraq was taken in
    order to support NZ's commitments to the UN and the
    multilateral system.  Despite this, Post continues to
    emphasize that, under UN auspices or not, the GoNZ needs to
    remain engaged in Iraq in some capacity.  While Clark was
    adamant that the troops were returning based on a
    pre-determined schedule (and indeed, they are in need of a
    rest after a their grueling six-month deployment), domestic
    pressures have likely played a role.  Much of the North
    Island was damaged by severe storms and flooding in the first
    half of 2004.  Infrastructure repairs have been hampered by a
    shortage of civil engineers, and the returning troops will
    fill this critical gap.
