1. (SBU) MFA Under Secretary Uzumcu told Ambassador that PM
Erdogan will be visiting Khartoum March 28-29 for the Arab
League summit. PM Advisor Ali Yakital, (who just returned 3
months ago as Turkish ambassador in Khartoum),confirmed
Erdogan was invited as a guest of the Arab League in his
capacity as co-chair of the Alliance of Civilizations.
Erdogan will address the summit and meet senior officials on
the margins.
2. (C) Ambassador strongly recommended to Uzumcu that Erdogan
(a) meet with the Sudanese First Vice President for the
South, (b) travel to the south to show support for the CPA
and, (c) visit Darfur. The Foreign Ministry confirmed to us
March 24 that Erdogan will meet with First Vice President
Kiir and will travel to Nyala to meet with Darfur refugees
and deliver a planeload of humanitarian supplies.
3. (SBU) We understand that Turkish Trade Minister Kursad
Tuzmen, who will be in the US next week for the annual
American Turkish Council meetings, has asked for appointments
at the Department to discuss trade and the Doha Round as well
as Sudan. Tuzmen said he had been in Sudan recently, is
working on various Turkish construction, investment and trade
initiatives in the area, and wants to discuss these in
Washington.
4. (U) Given the Prime Minister's attendance at the AL
summmit, we passed reftel points to the Foreign Ministry on
