1. (SBU) On January 22, the Ambassador discussed the
humanitarian crisis in Haiti (reftel points) with Kyrgyz
Foreign Minister Sarbayev. Sarbayev noted that he had been
in China on an official visit when the earthquake occurred.
Nonetheless, he had sent condolences to the Haitian
government and the Ministry had issued a formal statement of
condolences, as well.
2. (C) Interestingly, Sarbayev said he had asked the Russians
what they thought about Kyrgyzstan offering assistance and
the Russians had said not to bother. They (NFI) told him
that they had sent two planes, and that it had been difficult
both to get them onto the ground and to find someone in Haiti
who could accept the relief supplies. Sarbayev said
Kyrgyzstan would wait to see if there were any way in which
it might make a gesture as the situation stabilized.
