Viewing cable 08JAKARTA894, MOVING FORWARD WITH SAMPLE SHARING NEGOTIATIONS

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

REF: A) STATE 4753  B) JAKARTA 826 
 
1.(SBU)  This is an action request.  See paragraph 5. 
 
2. (SBU) Dr. Widjaja Lukito, Ministry of Health lead negotiator for 
sample sharing, told us on May 6 that he would like to continue 
sample sharing negotiations by video teleconference (VTC) either the 
morning of May 8 or May 9. He is proposing a 7:00 a.m. (Jakarta) 
start time which would allow Australia to participate at 10:00 a.m. 
(Canberra time) along with Washington (8:00 p.m.)  Widjaja is 
departing Indonesia on May 10 and will not be returning until May 
26. 
 
3. (SBU) Widjaja suggested that VTC discussions take up where the 
Sydney March 17-19 talks concluded and that the same agenda items be 
discussed.  But he stressed the importance of including the renaming 
of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Influenza Surveillance 
Network (GISN) to reflect the fact that the system will be 
different.  Indonesia proposes that the system be renamed to the WHO 
Influenza Network (WIN).  According to Widjaja, Indonesia's 
priorities on benefits sharing are tiered pricing and a global 
vaccine stockpile (whether real or virtual) that guarantees 
developing countries access to vaccine at affordable prices. 
 
4. (SBU) Widjaja indicated he will ask that someone from Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs attend the VTC along with another representative 
from the Ministry of Health. 
 
5.  (SBU) Action requested: please inform us whether we should 
arrange the proposed VTC on May 8 or May 9 Jakarta time.
