(SBU) Poloff discussed ref A points with MFA Deputy Director
General for Mexico, Central America, and Caribbean Carmen
Diez on July 17. She noted Spain's strong commitment to
reconstruction and stabilization in Haiti, which the nearly
16 million euros that Spain contributed to Haiti in 2006 (ref
B) has clearly demonstrated. (NOTE: Spain has pledged a
total of 16 million euros for 2006, and has so far disbursed
10 million of that pledge.) Diez said that during the
upcoming conference Spain intends to announce a similar
contribution for next year. In addition, Diez said that
Spain is willing to host a follow-up donors' conference in
Madrid on November 30.
