CONTRIBUTION
REF: A. SECSTATE 3627
¶B. SECSTATE 03546
On January 10 reftel points were delivered to French MFA
Afghanistan desk officer, Cyril Gerardon, who said that the
French had discussed and submitted a proposal to the French
Cabinet on January 5 whereby the French would donate ten
million euros to a trust fund. He stressed that the cabinet
had yet to approve this contribution, but that the MFA felt
relatively confident that it would be approved, thus
providing greater funding than originally anticipated. He
added that the lead French representative at the meeting
would probably be Herve Ladsous, the Director for Asia at the
MFA. The talking points were shared with the office of the
Ambassador to Afghanistan in Paris and with the British
Embassy.
