1. (C) As requested reftel, we approached Fiji, Kiribati, and
Tuvalu again on the UNSC issue:

-- Fiji Foreign Minister and CEO are out of town. Acting CEO
Ratu Finau Mara heard our request for reconfirmation that
Fiji is voting for Guatemala and will continue to do so. He
promised to get back ASAP, but has not done so by COB.

-- Kiribati President Tong is arriving in Fiji this p.m. in
preparation for next week's Pacific Island Forum. The
Kiribati High Commissioner to Fiji is working to arrange a
meeting for Tong with the Ambassador ASAP.

-- Tuvalu PM Ielemia is arriving in Suva this p.m., also on
the way to the PIF. We hope to meet with him. In the
meantime, we heard this p.m. from the Tuvalu MFA that
Tuvalu's PermRep in New York has instructions to vote for
Guatemala, and to keep doing so.
