1. (U) This message contains an action request; please see
para. 3.


2. (SBU) On April 28, POLCOUNS presented MFA Additional
Secretary (UN & Disarmament) Tariq Usman Haider a proposed

SIPDIS
schedule of EXBS training courses and seminars (reftel).
While affirming that the GOP is interested, in principal, in
participating in all proposed USG programs, Haider noted that
Pakistan's does not have a deep bench when it comes to EXBS
specialists; capacity issues will continue to be a challenge
as the MFA works to identify appropriate candidates for the
proposed USG events.


3. (SBU) Action request: Post will continue to work with
the MFA Disarmament Cell to facilitate GOP participation in
USG-sponsored EXBS training and requests additional
information soonest on events proposed reftel for the May -
July 2006 time frame. Factoring in Haider's remarks
regarding GOP capacity, post requests that ISN/ECC specify
how many participants it is seeking for each proposed event,
as well as the background or professional qualifications it
seeks in Pakistani candidates.
