    CANBERRA 00000637  001.3 OF 002

    Classified By: POLITICAL COUNSELOR JAMES F. COLE.  REASON: 1.4 (C)

    ¶1.  (C)  Summary:  DFAT Pacific Division, First Assistant
    Secretary Richard Rowe, told Polcouns on July 9 that the GOA,
    New Zealand and most PIF members do not want the Fiji issue
    to dominate the August forum.  Rowe said that Prime Minister
    Rudd is strongly emphasizing a "pragmatic, forward thinking"
    exchange on donor coordination in the Pacific, both in the
    PIF members discussions and in the Post Forum Dialogue.  He
    added that the GOA looks forward to a strong U.S.
    contribution in the PDF discussions on improving donor
    coordination.  Head of the DFAT Engagement Strategy Task
    Force Stephen Waters said that there would be a meeting of
    the quadrilateral security group during the PIF, likely on
    August 6 morning.  End summary.

    GOA PREPARING FOR PACIFIC ISLANDS FORUM

    ¶2. (U)  Richard Rowe, DFAT Pacific Division First Assistant
    Secretary, DFAT Pacific Partnerships Taskforce Assistant
    Secretary Stephen Waters, and  DFAT Director of the Pacific
    Regional Section Matthew Neuhaus met with Polcouns, to
    discuss next month's Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), including
    Australia's objectives for the PIF.  In preparation for
    developing support for Australian objectives, Deputy
    Secretary David Ritchie is currently traveling to Papua New
    Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.  Parliamentary
    Secretary for Pacific Islands Affairs Duncan Kerr is also
    traveling in the region (including to the Compact States)
    this week to discuss the upcoming PIF.

    DETERMINED FIJI WILL NOT DOMINATE FORUM DISCUSSION

    ¶3. (C)  Rowe stated that in Australia's view - as well as the
    views of New Zealand and most of the Pacific Island
    countries, Fiji should not be the dominant topic of
    discussion during the forum.  While the issue of Fiji will be
    discussed of course, there are other issues equally
    important.  This view was reinforced by FM Smith to Prime
    Minister Tuilaepa during a trip to Samoa last month.  Other
    issues that the GOA wants to be discussed during the PIF
    include climate change, for which the GOA is developing a
    policy paper for the region, fisheries, sports exchanges and
    public sector management.  Rowe added that Bainimarama will
    be attending this week's Melanesian Spearhead Group meeting
    for discussions.  Rowe said that the GOA is concerned that
    Bainimarama will influence the Melanesian members to come to
    the PIF urging a softer approach to Fiji.  "We have to hold
    this back." Rowe said.

    RUDD SEES NEED FOR ECONOMIC RESILIENCE

    ¶4. (SBU) Rowe stated that PM Rudd is concerned with fostering
    and developing economic "resilience" in the Pacific Islands,
    and to that end the GOA and the GNZ are developing an
    analytical report detailing the impact of the global economic
    crisis on the Pacific Islands, and whether or not they will
    reach their millennium development goals.  Rowe said that at
    this point they "are not tracking well."  The GOA and GNZ are
    also developing a tracking document that will look at
    governance and suggest ways to improve development
    coordination in the region.  The report is at an advanced
    stage in its drafting Rowe said, and will be provided to PIF
    leaders and PIF partners in a few weeks time.

    POST FORUM DIALOGUE THEME: BETTER DONOR COORDINATION

    ¶5.  (C) Rudd wants to reenergize the Post Forum Dialogue and
    Q5.  (C) Rudd wants to reenergize the Post Forum Dialogue and
    make it more substance than "ritual," Rowe said.  To this
    end, the GOA wants to "restructure" the PFD to include an
    active exchange between the PIF members, the partner
    countries and representatives from international financial
    institutions such as the World Bank and the International
    Monetary Fund (IMF).  Rowe noted that the President of the
    ADB will be attending the forum.  Rowe added that Prime
    Minister Rudd would like to see China and India take active
    part in this discussion.  Neuhaus stated that the GOA is
    looking for a "buy-in" from the U.S. on how to move forward
    on improving donor coordination as well as greater
    transparency in data and information sharing.

    ¶6.  (C)  Waters said that there would be a meeting of the
    quadrilateral Pacific security group (U.S., Australia, New
    Zealand and France) during the PIF, likely on August 6

    CANBERRA 00000637  002.3 OF 002

    morning.  He noted that he was aware of U.S. "reservations"
    about whether to form a second security body and looked
    forward to discussing the issue of a second mechanism (or
    expanding the present one) to handle "non-traditional"
    security concerns in the region.
