SUBJECT: (U) LIBERIAN PRESIDENT JOHNSON SIRLEAF VISITS 
LONDON 
 
(U) SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED; NOT FOR INTERNET DISTRIBUTION. 
 
1.  (SBU) SUMMARY:  Liberian President Ellen Johnson 
Sirleaf's visit to London May 29-31 reflects the UK's 
increased commitment to Liberia as a key to stability in the 
sub-region.  She met with the Queen, Secretary of State for 
International Development Hilary Benn and FCO Minister for 
Africa Lord Triesman, and spoke at the International 
Institute for Strategic Studies.  The UK is satisfied for now 
with Johnson Sirleaf's political will to improve governance, 
given the "weight of history" and the difficult conditions 
she inherited.  Implementation of Liberia's Governance and 
Economic Management Program will be the litmus test. 
Bilateral aid is likely to continue at the same level (7 
million Pounds Sterling, about 13 million U.S. dollars), but 
with the emphasis moving from humanitarian to development 
programs.  END SUMMARY. 
 
2.  (SBU) According to FCO West Africa Section Head Jason 
Moore, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's visit to 
London May 29-31 reflects the UK's increased interest and 
commitment in Liberia as a key to stability in the 
sub-region, particularly given Britain's major investment in 
next-door Sierra Leone.  Africa's first elected female 
president had an audience with the Queen and meetings with 
Secretary of State for International Development Hilary Benn 
 
SIPDIS 
and FCO Minister for Africa Lord Triesman.  Her Minister of 
Planning Dr. Toga Macintosh had a day of parallel meetings 
organized by the Department for International Development 
(DFID, Benn's department).  Benn told the President Britain 
was willing to support Liberia as it works through the 
Heavily-Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) debt-relief process. 
Johnson Sirleaf asked for help in reforming the judiciary. 
The UK is open to supporting anti-corruption but is hampered 
for now by the lack of an agreed strategy within the Liberian 
Government.  Bilateral issues discussed included migration 
and the UK's desire to avoid premature lifting of sanctions. 
The British did suggest to Johnson Sirleaf that she needs to 
spend more time in Liberia and less jetting around the globe, 
but she insisted one of her core functions is to maintain 
international support, which requires extensive travel. 
 
3.  (SBU) Moore told Poloff afterwards that HMG is satisfied 
for now with Johnson Sirleaf's political will to improve 
governance, given the "weight of history" and the difficult 
conditions she inherited.  Implementation of Liberia's 
Governance and Economic Management Program (GEMAP) will be 
the UK's litmus test; progress to date looks good on paper, 
but the real test -- and difficult challenge -- will be 
implementation.  FCO and DFID staff are recommending that 
bilateral aid continue at the same level (7 million Pounds 
Sterling, approximately 13 million US dollars), but with a 
shift in emphasis from humanitarian to development programs. 
Moore was confident the recommendation would be approved. 
4.  (U) Johnson Sirleaf used a May 31 address to the 
International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in 
London to describe her key priorities:  establishing a 
sustainable peace and stability, educating youth whose 
schooling was interrupted by war, rebuilding infrastructure, 
and reforming the civil service.  She outlined the country's 
natural resources and said there was "no excuse" for Liberia 
not to be prosperous, but she noted that with the economy in 
ruins, Liberia would need the support of its "development 
partners."  Land use and other allocations of resources 
needed reform.  She also noted the imperative of eradicating 
corruption among civil servants and politicians.  Leaders 
need to show competence, integrity, courage, and focus, she 
said.  Johnson Sirleaf asserted that her election as Africa's 
first female president "broke the glass ceiling and sent a 
message that an alternative leadership style was wanted on 
the continent."  Her government, she said, is committed to 
rule of law, protection of human rights and dignity, and free 
competition in a "secure environment of endeavor."  Making a 
scathing contrast with the generation of leaders who followed 
the "post-colonial, post-apartheid" generation, Johnson 
Sirleaf said a new generation of African leaders was emerging 
that is committed to peace, democracy, and development. 
 
5.  (U) One of the key objectives of her government, she 
said, is "liquidating the Imperial Presidency" legacy left by 
Charles Taylor.  Asked what support the international 
community should provide to the process of bringing Taylor to 
justice, Johnson Sirleaf smiled and said the international 
community "should do its duty."
