1. (SBU) On April 4, the DCM delivered Ambassador Jones'
message (reftel) suggesting that the GOI could help build
capacity in the Iraqi judiciary system to MEA Joint Secretary
(Americas) S. Jaishankar. Jaishankar agreed to pass along
the request, but asked that the DCM convey to Ambassador
Jones his suggestion that India could more suitably provide
assistance to the Iraqi civil service. The DCM agreed to do
so, but urged that the GOI communicate its capabilities
directly to the Iraqis.


2. (SBU) Jaishankar noted that Indian judges are not
"investigative judges," as mentioned in the letter, and
pointed out that India's strength was in its civil service
training capabilities. Each of the civil service branches
has its own training facility, he explained, listing the
areas of Indian expertise as administration, accounting
(India audits the UN, he highlighted),and budgeting.


3. (U) Baghdad minimize considered.
