US embassy cable - 05KINGSTON421

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Classified By: Charge d'Affaires Thomas C. Tighe.  Reasons 1.5(b) and ( 
d). 
 
1. (SBU) On February 14, Pol/Econ Chief conveyed Ref A points 
(via fax) to Ambassador Peter Black, Undersecretary for 
Bilateral Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and 
Foreign Trade, who serves concurrently as non-resident 
Ambassador to Haiti.  The following morning, P/E Chief called 
Black's office to confirm receipt of points and was told that 
the points had been faxed to the GOJ delegation in Suriname 
for the February 16-17 Caricom Heads of Government meeting. 
 
2. (C) Per Ref D, former Secretary Powell, who made a private 
visit to Kingston February 7-9, raised Haiti with Foreign 
Minister K.D. Knight on February 8.  Former Secretary Powell 
urged active Caribbean engagement in Haiti, and suggested 
that CARICOM could provide much needed help in organizing the 
upcoming Haitian elections.  Knight, however, was not 
particularly forthcoming on Haiti, and declined to speculate 
about whether the HOGs would reach consensus on the subject 
in Suriname.
