1. (C) During a November 19 meeting with Amb Khalilzad
(discussion of Lebanon and Burma covered in septels),SYG Ban
Ki-Moon noted that UN Special Envoy Eliason would brief the
Security Council next week on developments in Sudan. In the
meantime, the SYG noted that he was somewhat encouraged by
recent positive signals from the Sudanese regarding the Thai
and Nepalese contributions to UNAMID. (Note: Ban was
referring to Khartoum's granting of visas to Thais and
Nepalese to conduct pre-deployment visits to Sudan. End
Note.) Signals from the Sudanese about the proposed Nordic
contingents, however, were still negative. Ban also reported
that Brazil and Spain had expressed their willingness to
consider providing helicopters for the UN mission, while
Italy had indicated that it is ready to provide "aviation
support" to UNAMID.
