Minister Latortue told the DCM he instructed the Haitian
delegation to vote in favor of the U.S.-sponsored resolution
on Turkmenistan and the E.U.-sponsored resolution on
Uzbekistan. End Summary.


2. (C) DCM spoke with Haitian Interim Prime Minister Gerard
Latortue November 21 seeking Haiti's support of both the
U.S.-sponsored resolution on Turkmenistan and the
E.U.-sponsored resolution on Uzbekistan. The PM told the DCM

vote with us on all future resolutions in light of our
bilateral relationship. Please let us know if this is not
the case, and we will make all efforts to see the PM ensures
the Haitian delegation honors his word. End comment.
