2. (SBU) The first meeting of the Economic and Energy Joint 
Coordination Committee (JCC) under the Strategic Framework 
Agreement (SFA) was launched on February 12, 2009.  Deputy 
Prime Minister (DPM) Barham Salih and Coordinator for 
Economic Transition in Iraq (CETI) Ambassador Marc Wall held 
an initial meeting to initiate the five Working Groups, which 
will implement SFA goals at the technical level.  Salih 
commented that the JCC would be a valuable tool in helping 
Iraq develop its private sector, better provide essential 
services to its people, and fulfill its international 
commitments. In a sign of strong GOI support for the 
initiative, Iraqi Cabinet members, the Minister of Finance 
and the Governor of the Central Bank, also attended.  DPM 
Salih and EMIN introduced U.S. and Iraqi Working Group 
co-chairs, and gave instructions to: 
 
-- meet at least monthly; 
-- develop work plans and early deliverables (next six 
months); 
-- keep minutes of meetings and report back to the JCC by the 
next planned meeting in late March.

DEC, ICI and Business Forum 
--------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Both Deputy Prime Ministers are keen to engage with 
the new U.S. administration.  DPM Issawi previously expressed 
interest in leading a delegation of Ministers to meet with 
U.S. counterparts (reftel).  DPM Barham Salih noted again on 
February 12 his strong interest in having a Dialogue on 
Economic Cooperation (DEC).  He proposed the timeline of 
April in Washington D.C., possibly around the time of the 
World Bank/International Monetary Fund spring meetings.  EMIN 
noted that it was unlikely that the new administration would 
have all of its sub-Cabinet appointments in place by then. 
EMIN added we would do our best to schedule it as soon as 
feasible.  Salih responded that he would await a proposed 
timeframe from the USG side.  Salih also suggested a senior 
U.S. business delegation visit to Baghdad, tied to the DEC, 
to which EMIN responded positively.  Salih also proposed that 
the GOI host the next International Compact for Iraq 
Ministerial in Baghdad in May. 
 
5.  (SBU) EMIN underscored the importance of tying JCC goals 
to supporting Iraq,s efforts to implement the International 
Compact with Iraq and the National Development Strategy, 
working closely with international organizations like the 
World Bank and IMF in private sector development.  EMIN also 
called for timely passage in the Council of Representatives 
on three pending laws affecting economic engagement: the 
bilateral assistance agreement, the OPIC Investment Incentive 
Agreement and the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement.
