REPORTING CABLE - NOVEMBER 2009 
 
BANGKOK 00003075  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
SUMMARY 
 
1. (U) Advisor presented a briefing on the EXBS Program to 
Thai, Philippines and Indonesian officials during DTRA's WMD 
Interdiction Workshop at the International Law Enforcement 
Academy (ILEA), Bangkok, Nov. 2-6.  Advisor visited DEA's 
Airport Interdiction Program facility in Chiang Mai, 
Thailand, Nov. 10.  Advisor met with Australian Federal 
Police officials to discuss airport interdiction programs on 
Nov. 11.  Advisor met with a nonproliferation analyst from 
the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) to 
discuss nonproliferation issues in Southeast Asia on Nov. 12. 
 Advisor visited Phnom Penh Port and observed an ASEAN-JP 
port security exercise at Sihanoukville Port, Nov. 16-18. 
DEA chemical analysis equipment has been shipped to Vietnam's 
Ministry of Public Security.  EXBS will complete the grant 
documentation and provide WMD technical training.  Thai and 
Vietnam Program Assistants attended the LES conference in 
Frankfurt, Nov. 16-19.  Advisor will attend a Council for 
Security Cooperation in the Asia Pacific (CSCAP) Export 
Control Experts Meeting in Hanoi, Dec. 8-10.  DOE will 
conduct a Commodity Identification Training Workshop in 
Hanoi, Dec. 15-17. 
 
SITE ASSESSMENTS AND MEETINGS 
 
2. (U) Advisor visited DEA's Airport Interdiction Program 
(AIP) facility in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Nov. 10.  DOD's Joint 
Interagency Task Force - West (JIATF-W) provided additional 
equipment and technical support.  The AIP is focused on 
interdiction of illicit narcotics, but there may be 
applications for illicit WMD commodities as well.  DEA is 
considering placing an additional AIP facility at 
Suvarnabhumi Airport, a major air cargo hub.  Advisor will 
continue to investigate potential DEA/EXBS/JIATF-W 
interdiction collaboration, including during proposed U.S. 
CBP-delivered Airport Interdiction Training later this year. 
 
3. (U) Advisor met with Australian Federal Police (AFP) 
officials to discuss airport interdiction programs on Nov. 
11.  The AFP provides fraudulent document assistance at 
Suvarnabhumi Airport, but has no interdiction program there 
yet.  AFP officials stated that most drug interdictions at 
the airport are accomplished by Customs officials.  This 
suggests that the nascent Thai National Commodity 
Identification Training program (DOE is currently developing 
with the Thai Customs Academy) and proposed EXBS Airport 
Interdiction Training would be very useful in equipping Thai 
Customs officers at Suvarnabhumi Airport to conduct WMD 
interdictions as well. 
 
4. (U) Advisor and POLOFF met with a nonproliferation analyst 
from the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) 
to discuss nonproliferation issues in Southeast Asia on Nov. 
12.  IISS is well-known in the region for organizing the 
annual Shangri La Defense Ministers' Dialogue in Singapore. 
IISS recently published a dossier with 
nonproliferation-related policy recommendations for Southeast 
Asia, and continues to study regional developments.  IISS 
will continue to be a useful resource for stimulating 
regional dialogue and targeting EXBS nonproliferation 
assistance. 
 
TRAINING CONDUCTED 
 
5. (U) Advisor presented a briefing on the EXBS Program to 
Thai, Philippines and Indonesian officials during DTRA's WMD 
Interdiction Workshop at the International Law Enforcement 
Academy (ILEA), Bangkok, Nov. 2-6.  Course instructors 
included officials from DTRA, FBI and CBP.  This was DTRA's 
first regional training event in Southeast Asia.  The 
inter-agency approach was well-received by participants; 
recommend additional DTRA events. 
 
 
BANGKOK 00003075  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
6. (U) Advisor visited Phnom Penh port and observed an 
ASEAN-JP port security exercise at Sihanoukville port, Nov. 
16-18. Phnom Penh Port is relatively small (approximately 50k 
TEU volume in 2009) and does not handle any transit cargo 
from upriver in China.  Therefore, its priority for EXBS 
assistance is low.  The Japan-sponsored exercise at 
Sihanoukville Port was comprehensive and well-attended, with 
15 Cambodian agencies participating and observers from most 
other ASEAN countries, France and Australia, in addition to 
the U.S.  It's a good model for potential EXBS regional 
training, pending resolution of funding and policy issues. 
 
EQUIPMENT DELIVERED 
 
7. (U) DEA chemical analysis equipment has been shipped to 
the Forensic Science Institute of Vietnam's Ministry of 
Public Security (MPS).  EXBS will complete the grant 
documentation and coordinate with DOE for WMD technical 
training.  Hanoi Program Assistant is coordinating with DEA 
and MPS for a hand-over ceremony in December. 
 
IMMINENT TRAINING/EQUIPMENT UPDATE 
 
8. (U) Advisor will attend and give a briefing on regional 
EXBS activities at a CSCAP Export Control Experts Meeting in 
Hanoi, Dec. 8-10.  DOE will conduct a Commodity 
Identification Training Workshop in Hanoi, Dec. 15-17. 
 
9. (U) The final phase of Vietnam's Tracker Demonstration 
Project has been postponed pending approval of VAT exemption 
for grant assistance by the GVN.  A visit by Vietnamese 
officials to Korea for briefings on the YesTrade export 
control system is still being planned.
