    Classified By: Embassy Wellington DCM David J. Keegan. Reasons E.O.
    12958, 1.4 (b) and (d).

    ¶1. (S) Summary. During an October 19 stopover in
    Auckland, EAP A/S Christopher R. Hill met MFAT Secretary
    Simon Murdoch to review regional and bilateral issues. They
    agreed that the Pacific Islands Forum had produced good
    results, holding the line on elections in Fiji and RAMSI in
    the Solomons. Prospects in Fiji remained uncertain with a
    fractured opposition facing a military accustomed to
    authority. Hill said he had told Solomons Foreign Minister
    Oti that RAMSI is the best thing the Solomons has going
    for it.  Murdoch then turned to Foreign Minister Peters'
    upcoming trip to Pyongyang and his determination to support
    the Six-Party process; he asked what topics the U.S. would
    want Peters to emphasize or avoid.  Hill stressed the need
    to emphasize that New Zealand and others could offer
    substantial assistance to North Korea, but it was
    conditional on DPRK implementation of its Six-Party
    commitments.  He reviewed the latest Six-Party developments
    and next steps on disablement and further denuclearization.
    Hill said he had urged Pyongyang to respond to Japan's
    concern over abductees, and he recommended Peters do the
    same.  On bilateral relations, Murdoch indicated that when
    Peters meets the Secretary in Washington, he would renew an
    invitation for her to visit New Zealand on her way to or
    from Ausmin next year.  He said New Zealand is actively
    considering ways to increase its development assistance in
    Afghanistan, initiate training for Afghan police, and
    possibly deploy the SAS to Afghanistan.  Murdoch said that
    Peters also hopes to explain New Zealand's response on the
    Asia Pacific Democracy Partnership.  Hill urged Peters to
    review these developments with the Secretary.  End Summary.

    ¶2. (SBU) During an October 19 stopover in Auckland
    after the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF), EAP Assistant
    Secretary Christopher R. Hill discussed a range of regional

    SIPDIS
    and bilateral issues with Secretary Simon Murdoch of New
    Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT).
    MFAT Deputy Secretary John McArthur and America's Division
    officer James Waite accompanied Murdoch; Wellington DCM
    David Keegan (note taker) and EAP Special Assistant
    Christopher Klein accompanied A/S Hill.

    PIF Outcomes Positive on Fiji and Solomons
    ------------------------------------------

    ¶3. (C) A/S Hill said the PIF had produced a
    good outcome on pressuring the interim government in
    Fiji to move toward elections without delay.  Commodore
    Frank Bainimarama had been looking for the Forum to help give
    him a way out of the political crisis he had created, but
    that was placing hope over reality.  Murdoch said he
    had feared that the Forum would "choke" on Fiji and on
    RAMSI, but the member states had held the line.  Prime
    Minister Clark, Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Sir
    Michael Somare, and the Samoan Prime Minister Tuila'epa
    had all taken a strong position.  Australian Foreign
    Minister Downer had said he was pleased with the outcome,
    especially with Clark's performance.

    ¶4. (C) Murdoch added that these positive results
    will make it easier to move Fiji forward toward elections
    with a carrot and stick approach.  Bainimarama had urged the
    Forum leaders not to endorse the roadmap laid out by the
    PIF foreign ministers, but they held the line.  The U.S. and
    New Zealand now need to work with the PIF members to
    counter Bainimarama's efforts to portray the Forum members
    and partners as bullies.  He added that New Zealand very
    much appreciated that DAS Davies had pushed back during his
    meeting with Bainimarama in New York against Chinese
    efforts to undercut international and regional pressure on
    the Fijian interim regime.

    ¶5. (C) Hill observed that Bainimarama appears to be
    casting himself as a Chavez-style populist, but the Fijian
    people do not seem persuaded.  Still, the U.S. Embassy in
    Suva was very concerned that the opposition remained
    fractured and apparently incapable of forming a strong
    coalition.  He concurred with Murdoch's observation that the
    Fijian military had had three generations to build itself
    into a strong cohesive political and social force.
    Nonetheless, it remained for the Fijian people to make
    democracy work.

    ¶6. (C) A/S Hill reported that in his meeting with
    Solomons Foreign Minister Patteson Oti he said RAMSI is
    the best thing that has happened to the Solomon Islands,
    and the government should support it.  It would not help the
    Solomons to get cross-wise with the countries in the region
    that have contributed to RAMSI.  Oti responded by insisting
    that the government supports RAMSI but has to honor its
    own parliamentary processes in completing the current
    review of RAMSI, A/S Hill said.  These were excuses for the
    government's current refusal to support RAMSI.  The decision
    of the Solomon's Prime Minister to boycott the PIF, citing a prior
    obligation to attend the Taiwan meeting of Pacific
    heads of government, had not gone over well with the
    assembled leaders.

    Preparing Foreign Minister Peters' Visit to North Korea
    --------------------------------------------- ----------

    ¶7. (S) Murdoch then turned to preparations for
    Foreign Minister Winston Peters' November visit to North
    Korea.  He said the Minister is determined to use the
    visit to support the Six-Party process in every way
    possible.  Peters plans to stress to the North Koreans
    that he considers it the responsibility of all nations to
    support the Six-Party Talks.  New Zealand wants to help
    bring North Korea out of its isolation, but only provided
    that North Korea follows through on its Six-Party
    commitments.  It would be helpful, Murdoch added, to know
    what the "red lines" would be for the U.S.

    ¶8. (S) Hill observed that North Korea has something of a
    "Cargo Cult" mentality and expects visitors to offer
    presents.  It might be helpful for New Zealand to offer some
    small form of aid during Peters' visit, while saying that it
    could do far more, such as provide economic and financial
    assistance, and training in English language proficiency,
    but only if the North follows through on its Six-Party
    commitments.  The message would be that New Zealand and
    like-minded countries are prepared to offer more, but only
    if the DPRK denuclearizes.

    ¶9. (S) Turning to the current status of the Six-
    Party Talks, Hill observed that the talks are coming to
    three critical milestones.  The first involves disabling the
    plutonium enrichment facilities in Yongbyon.  The second step
    is securing a full declaration from Pyongyang of all its
    nuclear programs.  The third is persuading the DPRK to
    surrender the enriched plutonium it already possesses.  This material
    is likely in the hands of the Korean People's Army,
    and it will take considerable effort to persuade them to
    release it.

    ¶10. (S) Murdoch asked where the U.S. stands on the
    normalization track of the talks.  Hill said that the U.S.
    would move ahead with removing North Korea from the list of
    state supporters of terrorism and terminating application of
    the Trading with the Enemy Act only if the DPRK makes
    continued progress on denuclearization.  In this context,
    Murdoch asked about the current status of Japan's demand
    for North Korea to make progress on Japanese abductees.
    McArthur noted that Japan had asked New Zealand to raise the
    issue in Pyongyang.  Noting that abductions had become a

    WELLINGTON 00000785  003 OF 003

    major political issue in Japan, Hill said he had urged North
    Korea to find a way to be more responsive and to help new
    Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda make progress on this issue.
    He emphasized that he had told North Korea it is in its own
    interest to improve relations with Japan -- and for the U.S.
    to have good relations with Japan.  Meanwhile, normalization
    discussions could proceed in parallel with progress on
    denuclearization.

    ¶11. (S) As for a Korean peninsula peace settlement, Hill
    also noted that the ROK Reunification Ministry had sought prematurely
    for the North-South summit to make a declaration
    that a peace treaty would be completed.  MOFA had then worked
    to persuade President Roh not to support such a declaration.  Against
    this backdrop, the U.S. wants to avoid becoming an
    issue in the current election campaign in South Korea so we
    intend to take a low-key approach.  A/S Hill urged Peters to
    beware of any reference to a "peace declaration."

    U.S.-N.Z. Relations
    -------------------

    ¶12. (C) Murdoch then turned to U.S.-New Zealand
    bilateral relations.  He said he was still hearing good
    feedback from the Partnership Forum in Auckland in
    September.  He thanked Hill for attending and noted that the
    Forum had strengthened both public and private sector
    support for efforts to improve the relationship.  Murdoch
    recalled that he had mentioned to Hill when they met during
    the Forum (Reftel) that a Presidential visit in a year with
    elections on both sides might be difficult to manage, but
    New Zealand would welcome a visit by the Secretary of
    State.  He had subsequently spoken to the Prime Minister and
    Foreign Minister, and they had both endorsed that
    assessment.  He suggested that a visit by the Secretary on
    the way to or from the AUSMIN would be very welcome, and he
    expected the Foreign Minister would renew that invitation
    when he visits Washington November 19.  Hill responded that
    the Secretary very much appreciates the Foreign Minister's
    strong support on North Korea and is interested in coming.

    ¶13. (C) Murdoch said he considers the coming year a time
    to bank the gains we had made over the past year and keep
    the public profile of the relationship positive through the
    course of our elections. New Zealand is very conscious of the
    importance the U.S. attaches to New Zealand's support in Afghanistan.
     The government is considering expanding its development assistance,
    initiating police training, and
    possibly deploying the SAS again.  New Zealand is also
    considering bringing Afghan police trainees to New Zealand,
    probably under NATO auspices.  He added that Foreign Minister
    Peters would try to have something to say on the Asia Pacific
    Development Partnership (APDP) when he sees the Secretary.
