REF: ABU DHABI 1901


1. (C) During the Ambassador's farewell call on
Central Bank Governor Sultan Nasser Al-Suwaidi, he
briefly discussed the Central Bank's relationship
with the Government of India. The governor said
that he had not developed a relationship with the
new finance minister yet, but that he had had a
good relationship with Prime Minister Singh when he
was the Finance Minister. (Note: The topic came up
because the GoI had originally declined the UAE's
invitation to attend a FINCEN/UAE Central Bank
training seminar for South Asian Countries, but
after the Ambassador's intervention sent someone
from the Embassy as an observer. (Reftel) End
Note.)


2. (C) Al-Suwaidi said that Singh had proven to be
a capable person and that he was a problem solver.
Singh did not suffer from the Indian tendency to
"beat around the bush." He credited Singh for his
role in pushing though several of the
economic/financial reforms in the early 1990s that
opened up the Indian economy significantly.
