UNCLAS SECTION 01 OF 02 DHAKA 006330 
 
SIPDIS 
 
E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: ETRD ECON PREL BG BIMSTEC
SUBJECT: DHAKA MINISTERIAL TAKES MODEST STEPS TOWARDS MORE 
ROBUST BIMSTEC 
 
 
1.    Summary:  The Eighth BIMSTEC Ministerial Meeting agreed 
to modest steps to enhance cooperation among its seven South 
Asian and Asian members during its December 18-19 meeting in 
Dhaka.  The key agreement was on implementation of the 
BIMSTEC FTA in goods on July 1, 2006 and a commitment to 
address issues that must be resolved before a full FTA 
including services and investment can be concluded. 
Ministers noted progress in the largely economic focused 
existing areas of cooperation, added new areas of cooperation 
and formed an experts group to prepare a proposal on a formal 
secretariat for BIMSTEC.  India agreed to host key senior 
 
SIPDIS 
level meetings in 2006 and the Second BIMSTEC Summit in early 
2007.  End summary. 
 
2.    Foreign ministers representing the seven South Asian 
and Asian members of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for 
Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) 
met December 18-19 in Dhaka.  The ministerial was preceded on 
December 18 by the Tenth Senior Officials Meeting.  The 
foreign ministers issued a joint statement following the 
conclusion of the meeting.  A copy of the statement is 
available at: 
http://www.mofa.gov.bd./bimstec/joint minis decl.html 
 
Trade Liberalization Key Result 
------------------------------- 
 
3.    Economic cooperation remains at the core of BIMSTEC's 
agenda.  Ministers reaffirmed their commitment to implement 
an FTA in goods by July 1, 2006, directing experts to meet in 
Kathmandu December 21-27 to hammer out final details.  An 
additional experts meeting will be held in January if 
necessary so that the "Agreement on Trade in Goods" could be 
signed at a Spring Trade/Economic Ministers Meeting in Dhaka. 
  Ministers also agreed to fast track discussions on trade 
facilitation measures, including removal of non-tariff 
barriers, negotiation of mutual recognition agreements, and 
provisions on avoidance of double taxation. 
 
4.    On other economic issues, the ministers principally 
expressed satisfaction with progress at the working level on 
technology, energy cooperation, and tourism and noted the 
importance of regional cooperation in transport and 
communication, fisheries and agriculture.  The ministers 
stressed the importance of IPR protection for biotechnology, 
traditional medicine and plant and genetic resources.  In a 
nod to the host country, Bangladeshi agricultural proposals 
for greater technical cooperation were endorsed. 
 
Expanding BIMSTEC's Remit 
------------------------- 
 
5.    The ministers discussed several issues first raised at 
the First BIMSTEC Summit, including poverty alleviation, 
cultural cooperation, terrorism and transnational crimes, 
environment and disaster management, public health and 
people-to-people contacts.  Together with agriculture, these 
sectors were added to the list of priority sectors on which 
BIMSTEC would focus its work program.  Specifically, the 
ministers: 
 
-- Urged ministers at an upcoming ministerial meeting on 
poverty alleviation to adopt a comprehensive plan of action 
consistent with the Millennium Development Goals 
 
-- Praised working group progress on advancing member state 
cooperation in combating terrorism and transnational crime 
 
-- Acknowledged the need for greater coordination and 
information sharing in response to emerging and regional 
infectious diseases, including avian influenza, HIV/AIDS, 
SARS, malaria, dengue and tuberculosis 
 
-- Welcomed establishment in India of a Weather and Climate 
Center, noting its importance for disaster management and 
supporting cooperation with similar regional units under 
SAARC and the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center 
 
-- Supported Bhutan's preparations for the first ministerial 
meeting on culture, designated June 6 as "BIMSTEC Day" to 
promote awareness of BIMSTEC, and endorsed proposals to 
facilitate movement of people, starting with business travel 
and then liberalizing, and eventually eliminating, visa 
requirements. 
 
Building for the Future 
----------------------- 
 
6.    Originally conceived as a forum for discussion of 
regional issues, BIMSTEC lacks a permanent secretariat.  The 
BIMSTEC Center, based in Thailand, has handled limited 
administrative functions up to now.  Given BIMSTEC's growing 
ambitions and work program, the ministers agreed the time has 
come for a small secretariat, and authorized an experts group 
to consider modalities and other details.  In the meantime, 
ministers formally authorized the BIMSTEC Center to act as a 
"mini-secretariat" until a formal secretariat is established. 
Next Steps 
---------- 
 
7.    Several key meetings were agreed to over the next 15 
months.  The Trade/Economics Ministers Meeting will be held 
in Dhaka in spring 2006 to finalize the FTA in goods.  India 
will host the next Senior Officials Meeting in July/August 
2006 and the Ninth BIMSTEC Ministerial Meeting, presumably at 
the same time.  India will also host the Second BIMSTEC 
Summit in early 2007.
