SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1. (SBU Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama would lead the Thai 
delegation to the Burma Donors Conference, MFA Department of 
East Asian Affairs Director Kallayana Vipattipumiprates told 
us on May 21. He said that the RTG shared USG concerns 
outlined in reftel.  The Thais had a tentative plan for what 
they intended to pledge at the May 25 conference in Rangoon. 
However, the RTG awaited forthcoming reports expected from 
the visits to Burma of U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and 
ASEAN Secretary General Surin Pitsuwan before the Thais made 
their intentions known.  Kallayana also revealed that in the 
May 14 meeting between PM Samak and Burmese PM Thein Sein, 
the Burmese had repeatedly conveyed their deep appreciation 
for USG humanitarian assistance in the wake of Cyclone 
Nargis.  End summary. 
 
------------------------------------ 
DONORS CONFERENCE WILL BREAK THE ICE 
------------------------------------ 
 
2. (SBU) The Thais welcomed the May 25 Burma Donors 
conference organized by ASEAN and the U.N. and intended to 
send FM Noppadon to Rangoon with a pledge for assistance from 
the RTG, according to MFA Department of East Asian Affairs 
Director Kallayana Vipattipumiprates.  The Thais wanted to 
make sure that their pledge was appropriate to the needs of 
the Burmese and neither too little or too much.  At the same 
time, the Thais generally shared many of the same concerns as 
the USG with regards to providing humanitarian assistance to 
Burma.  In particular, the RTG agreed with USG statements 
that the cyclone disaster had yet to transition from relief 
to reconstruction, as purported by the Burmese government. 
Therefore, total official assistance pledged by Thailand 
would rely heavily on two factors: readouts provided by UN 
SYG Ban Ki-moon and ASEAN SYG Surin Pitsuwan following their 
meetings with Burmese officials between May 20 - May 23; and 
to whom the money was to be pledged (Burmese government, UN, 
and/or ASEAN). 
 
3. (SBU) The conference would be a significant event, 
Kallayana stated, as it would bring together the 
international community to discuss Burma.  The Thais expected 
to emphasize this development at the conference, and 
capitalize on the gathering of so many players interested in 
Burma to begin a long term dialogue about the situation in 
their neighboring country.  "The pledges for assistance would 
not end on Sunday," Kallayana pointed out, and he emphasized 
that there would have to be follow-up to the conversations 
begun at the donors conference.  In Kallayana's view, the 
conference would focus on what has occurred in Burma over the 
past two weeks and what the international community can do in 
general terms with regards to relief and reconstruction. 
 
--------------------------------- 
SAMAK TO DISCUSS PLANS WITH UNSYG 
--------------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) PM Samak is scheduled to meet with Ban Ki-moon when 
the U.N. SYG overnights in Bangkok on May 24, Kallayana told 
us.  As of today (May 21), the meeting is slated to begin at 
5:30 p.m. and continue over dinner to give the two leaders 
ample time to discuss the situation in Burma.  Kallayana said 
that the UN and ASEAN would rely heavily on information 
provided by the Burmese government.  Considering the extent 
of the humanitarian emergency Burma faced, and the effect of 
the impending donors conference, he believed that the Burmese 
had no choice but to provide accurate information to Surin 
and Ban Ki-moon. 
 
------------------------------------ 
BRITISH MAKING SIMILAR POINTS TO RTG 
------------------------------------ 
 
BANGKOK 00001569  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
 
5. (SBU) We also spoke with British Embassy Political Chief 
Andy Garth on May 21, who indicated that his government 
planned to meet with FM Noppadon later that same day to 
convey their concerns about the upcoming donors conference, 
which were similar to ours.  Garth mentioned that his 
government had yet to designate participants for the 
conference, but that it was considering doing so at the 
senior official level, including the head of Britain's 
international development agency.  He expected that Britain 
would follow with USG, French, and German decisions about the 
level at which their government would send a representative. 
 
--------------------------------- 
BURMESE APPRECIATE USG ASSISTANCE 
--------------------------------- 
 
6. (SBU) At the conclusion of our conversation, Kallayana 
declared "you know that the Burmese really appreciate what 
you are doing."  He went on to say that when PM Samak met 
with Burmese PM Thein Sein on May 14, the Burmese leader 
pointedly mentioned his appreciation for USG humanitarian 
assistance to the cyclone victims.  Kallayana added that 
evidence of this appreciation was the Burmese government's 
decision to send their naval Commander in Chief (number five 
in the government in Kallayana's estimation) to meet U.S. 
Admiral Keating, who accompanied the first USG assistance 
flight to Rangoon on May 12.
