1. (SBU) The Government of Malawi has submitted, via
diplomatic
note to the Embassy, a request for an End User, Retransfer
and Security Assurances agreement covering four UH-1H
helicopters. The helicopters, tail numbers 317, 331, 360,
and 387, are to be donated to Malawi by Taiwan. Post has no
objections, but requests further guidance on how to proceed.
2. (SBU) Comment: The helicopters, along with four
locomotives and four patrol boats, are the latest example of
how much Taiwan values Malawi's strong support (reftels).
Taiwan is also funding the building of a new parliament
building in Lilongwe, and a new road in northern Malawi.
