SUBJECT: SRI LANKA: RESULTS OF COLOMBO PLAN NOVEMBER 20 MEETING 
 
REF:  SECSTATE 122193 
 
1. (U) SUMMARY:  At Colombo Plan's 262nd Council meeting on November 
20, 2008, participating delegates deferred a decision on whether to 
grant Burma a three-year moratorium on payment of the annual 
membership fee and on two requests from Bangladesh to both have its 
arrears waived and obtain a temporary exemption of the increased 
annual membership fees.  The USG agreed to serve on the Standing 
Committee on Administrative and Financial Matters for 2008/2009. 
Participants agreed to invite Brunei as a provisional member of 
Colombo Plan.  End Summary. 
 
2. (U) The primary agenda of the meeting was to determine whether to 
grant Burma's request for a three-year moratorium on payment of the 
annual membership fee, as well as Bangladesh's requests to have its 
arrears waived and to have temporary exemption from the increased 
annual membership fees.  Econoff presented reftel points opposing 
these requests.  No consensus was reached at the meeting. 
Representatives from Sri Lanka, Japan, Indonesia and South Korea 
recommended that Colombo Plan work with the two countries to either 
accept a moratorium and/or establish an installment plan.  The 
Ambassador of Nepal suggested that the Council should establish 
criterion on which that the decision be based.  Thailand, Pakistan, 
Maldives and Pakistan had no objections, and India was awaiting 
guidance from its government.  Participants agreed that Colombo Plan 
Secretary General (SecGen) Patricia Chia should discuss other 
payment options with the Bangladeshi and Burmese representatives, 
and that the final decision should be made at the next Council 
meeting in January 2009. 
 
3. (U) Although not in the agenda, the Japanese representative 
presented a statement from his government highlighting GOJ concerns 
on the use of member financial contributions to Colombo Plan.  Prior 
to the meeting, members were copied on a letter sent by the Japanese 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the SecGen, requesting additional 
information on the organization's spending plans for the increased 
member contributions.  Since the initial letter, the SecGen and GOJ 
have exchanged a series of additional letters.  The SecGen, who was 
given a copy of the Japanese statement presented at the meeting, 
presented her arguments regarding each the Japanese concerns.  The 
SecGen deferred discussion of the concerns by the Japanese 
government to the next Council meeting.  Post will continue to send 
scanned copies of the correspondence to IO/T. 
 
4. (U) Standing Committee:  Econoff delivered reftel point and 
agreed that the U.S. will participate as a member of the Standing 
Committee on Administrative and Financial Matters for 2008/2009. 
Other invited members that confirmed their participation were Sri 
Lanka, Bangladesh, and Malaysia; India's acceptance is pending New 
Delhi's approval.  The first standing committee meeting will be held 
on January 8, 2009. 
 
5. (U) Other matters:  SecGen informed the meeting that nine 
nominations have been submitted for the position of the Director of 
the Drug Advisory Program (DAP).  Due to the lack of qualifications 
among nominees, however, Colombo Plan agreed to extend the deadline 
for DAP nominations to January 2, 2009.  Separately, all 
participants agreed to admit Brunei as a provisional member. 
 
6.  (U) The next Colombo Plan Council meeting is scheduled for 
January 15, 2009, and will be chaired by the newly-elected President 
of the Colombo Plan, Ambassador to Thailand Thinakorn Kanasuta. 
Post will advise the provisional agenda prior to both the council 
and standing committee meetings.
