SUBJECT:  RENEWAL OF MINUSTAH MISSION ON HAITI - 
RESPONSE TO SECSTATE 127801 
 
Ref: 127801 
 
1. SUMMARY.  In response to SecState 127801, post 
emphasized to German Government the importance of 
the UN Security Council renewal of a strong 
MINUSTAH mission on Haiti and urged the German 
Government to support the recommendations for the 
MINUSTAH made by UN Secretary General.  German 
officials reported that they were in complete 
agreement regarding the renewal of the MINUSTAH 
Mission for another year.  The MFA also said it 
would participate in the September 26 New York 
meeting of key players called for by Under 
Secretary Burns. END SUMMARY. 
 
SIPDIS 
 
2.  German Foreign Ministry (MFA) and German 
Development Ministry (BMZ) both reported that 
Germany plans to continue its support for the 
MINUSTAH Mission.  A BMZ official noted that 
?following difficulties in the beginning, the 
Mission now operates successfully? adding that 
the Mission provides ?a framework of security for 
development programs and contributes to the 
stabilization of Haiti?.  The MFA stressed that 
Germany was in a continuing dialogue regarding 
MINUSTAH and supported the renewal of its 
mandate. 
 
3.  Germany currently contributes 9 percent to 
the cost of MINUSTAH and has provided a total of 
USD 48 million to the effort. Annual bilateral 
development assistance to Haiti amounts to 3 
million Euro which is spent on eradication of 
poverty and basic educational training. In 
addition, Germany contributes 20 percent to the 
EU?s development efforts and debt relief programs 
in the ACP countries.  Germany is also active in 
a regional Caribbean initiative to counter 
climate change and is a major contributor to the 
fight against HIV/AIDS-Tuberculosis in the 
region.  Germany is currently reviewing its 
development assistance to the Caribbean as part 
of the Paris round of donor harmonization. 
 
4.  The MFA told Embassy that it would send a 
representative to the September 26 New York 
meeting of the Haiti key player nations.  The 
German Ambassador to the U.S. will most likely 
represent MF State Secretary Reinhard Silberberg 
at the meeting.
