REF: ADDIS ABABA 2494 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: In their first official meeting, USAU 
Ambassador Battle and AU Commission Deputy Chairperson 
Erastus Mwencha affirmed the need to broaden and deepen the 
U.S./AU partnership that began when the AU emerged seven 
years ago.  Specifically, the AU leadership is seeking a 
strategic dialogue with the U.S. in Washington in the spring 
of 2010.  As he did in his visit to Washington last spring, 
Mwencha again said the AU leadership would be interested in 
having a meeting with the Secretary and POTUS while in 
Washington, and he again issued an invitation for the 
President to address a future AU Summit.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) On October 16, USAU Ambassador Battle, accompanied 
by A/DCM and AU Desk Officer, called on AU Deputy Chairperson 
Mwencha.  Although it was the first meeting in Mwencha's AU 
headquarters office, they had met earlier in the day during 
the closing session of a Media Training workshop for AU 
Commission staff sponsored by USAU.  Mwencha, a Kenyan who 
came to the AU via COMESA where he served as its executive 
secretary, wasted no time in expressing his appreciation for 
the Obama Administration's focus on Africa.  The President's 
speech delivered from the national parliament in Accra, Ghana 
was "still resonating" across the continent, Mwencha said. 
"Africa does not need strong men; it needs strong 
institutions," he said, repeating the words that have struck 
an important chord.  "That is the foundation of our future," 
Mwencha asserted. 
 
3. (SBU) Mwencha went on to praise the new Administration for 
introducing a "soft approach" to diplomacy, and, as so many 
other AU officials and AU partner diplomats have done in 
recent days, he congratulated the President for winning the 
Nobel Peace Prize.  "That shows the potential that there is," 
he said. POTUS has "changed the course of the international 
arena." 
 
4. (SBU) Mwencha, regarded by most as the AU Commission's 
visionary and certainly the organization's leader on matters 
of institutional reform, took several minutes to provide the 
Ambassador with the AU's historical context and the 
principles that guide the AU today.  In the seven years since 
the AU succeeded the OAU, the demand for AU resources has 
"grown exponentially" but the AU's capacity to respond has 
not kept up with the demand, Mwencha assessed. 
 
5. (SBU) The AU Commission, which already has strategic 
partnerships with the European Union and other international 
partners, believes it is now time to engage in a strategic 
dialogue with the USG.  "The U.S. is such a strong partner 
that our partnership should be deepened," he told the 
Ambassador.  (Note: This is a message that all of the AU 
leadership has been bringing to our attention both in 
Washington and at AU headquarters in Addis Ababa in recent 
months.  AU Commission Chairperson Jean Ping would like to 
formalize this dialogue when he travels to Washington in the 
spring of 2010.  End note.)  Mwencha, in response to a 
question from the Ambassador, said the AU would like to both 
deepen and broaden the relationship.  He previewed the spring 
2010 visit to Washington by saying Chairperson Ping would 
like to meet with the Secretary and also have a courtesy call 
on POTUS.  He also repeated the AU's desire to have POTUS 
address a future AU Summit.  The Ambassador promised to relay 
this message to Washington. 
 
6. (SBU) The Ambassador thanked Mwencha for his concise and 
helpful briefing of the AU, and confirmed the U.S. desire to 
solidify the bilateral dialogue.  The Obama Administration is 
keen to work with partners to solve problems, he said. 
"Africa's future is up to Africans to decide.  Our role is to 
be partners with Africans," the Ambassador told Mwencha. 
Africa is strategically significant, the Ambassador 
continued, citing the need to achieve food self-sufficiency 
on the continent.  The Ambassador reviewed with Mwencha the 
new Administration's systematic review of Africa policy.  The 
U.S. is also taking a look at what Africa will look like 100 
years from now, including how a developed infrastructure will 
better serve the economies on the continent.

7. (SBU) Mwencha used this introductory meeting to thank the 
U.S. for supporting AMISOM and the Somali Transitional 
Federal Government.  He assessed that neither AMISOM nor the 
TFG are strong enough on the ground to counter the potential 
spread of Al Qaida in the region. 
 
8. (SBU) At a subsequent meeting with Mwencha, he emphasized 
his interest in having a USAFRICOM team consult with the AU 
on counternarcotics measures (see reftel).
