USG APPROACH TO SECURITY ISSUE 
 
REF: A. SINGAPORE 2718 
     B. STATE 138300 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: MFA Southeast Asia Deputy Director Foo Chi 
Hsia asked to meet us September 8 to urge USG patience in 
pressing for maritime security at the September 18-20 
conference in Kuala Lumpur.  At the conference, the littoral 
states would present a new "cooperation mechanism" to enhance 
navigational safety and environmental protection in the 
Strait, which represented a substantial step forward in 
littoral-user state cooperation.  Foo was confident that, 
over time, this framework would be expanded to cover maritime 
security.  Foo asked the USG to endorse the proposal, while 
warning that too much pressure to include maritime security 
at the start could backfire.  She cited China's offer to 
support a maritime project by each of the three littoral 
states as an example of the sophisticated diplomacy China was 
demonstrating in Southeast Asia and urged a similar USG 
approach.  On the Torres Strait, Foo said further lobbying of 
Australia at senior levels might help reverse the GOA plans 
for compulsory pilotage.  End Summary. 
 
Cooperation Mechanism for Malacca Strait 
---------------------------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) MFA Southeast Asia Deputy Director Foo Chi Hsia 
asked to meet us September 8 to urge USG patience in pressing 
for maritime security at the second meeting of the littoral 
and user states of the Strait of Malacca, to be held in Kuala 
Lumpur September 18-20.  Noting our earlier request to 
include maritime security in the agenda (Ref B), Foo said the 
littoral states would present a new "cooperation mechanism" 
that would be a stepping stone to closer work on maritime 
security.  It wouldn't be everything the USG wanted, but 
represented significant progress on user-littoral state 
cooperation, she opined. 
 
3. (SBU) The "cooperation mechanism" would enhance 
navigational safety and environmental protection in the 
Strait of Malacca and have three components: (1) a forum for 
cooperation; (2) a project committee for littoral states and 
stakeholders to work on specific proposals; and (3) a fund 
for countries to contribute to the maintenance and 
replacement of navigational aids.  She was confident that, 
over time, this framework would be expanded to cover maritime 
security. 
 
Seeking USG Support 
------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Foo urged the USG to endorse the proposal at the 
Kuala Lumpur conference, even if it didn't go as far as the 
USG would like.  She warned that too much pressure to include 
maritime security at the start could backfire by raising 
sensitivities over sovereignty in the other littoral states. 
She reiterated that the GOS would address maritime security 
in its national statement at the conference and expected that 
Malaysia and possibly Indonesia would do so as well.  Foo 
added that the "cooperation mechanism" should be in place by 
the time Singapore hosts the next Tripartite Technical 
Experts Group (TTEG) meeting in December. 
 
5. (SBU) After the third IMO meeting on Strait of Malacca 
security in Singapore in 2007, the GOS thought it likely that 
the IMO would turn its attention elsewhere.  Therefore, 
Singapore envisioned the "cooperation mechanism" as a 
framework to carry forward after the IMO meetings end and 
expected it would provide a platform for littoral and user 
states to work on enhancing maritime security. 
 
Aid from China 
-------------- 
 
6. (SBU) At the Kuala Lumpur meeting, the three littoral 
states would be seeking support for six projects -- two from 
each country.  Foo noted that China's Minister for 
Communications, Li Shenglin, had recently visited the region 
and had promised to support one project from each country. 
Foo cited this as an example of the kind of sophisticated 
diplomacy China was conducting in Southeast Asia.  Although 
the assistance China offered might be modest (and she didn't 
have any details on China's support), it succeeded in 
appearing even-handed and demonstrating China's concern for 
each country.  She encouraged the USG to adopt a similar 
approach and consider whether it could provide some support, 
however modest, for country projects. 
 
Compulsory Pilotage in Torres Strait 
 
------------------------------------ 
 
7. (SBU) On Australia's plans for compulsory pilotage through 
the Torres Strait, Foo suggested that further lobbying at 
senior levels of the GOA might help.  FM George Yeo had 
written to FM Alexander Downer to complain about the GOA 
decision and its negative impact on larger strategic 
interests -- and she asserted that FM Downer's staff had 
seemed unaware of the issue.  She added that FM Yeo planned 
to meet with FM Downer on the margins of UNGA later this 
month to discuss the matter further and inquired whether the 
Secretary might also meet FM Downer and raise the issue.
