REF: STATE 22896

(SBU) Embassy conveyed reftel request for donations to
the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces to Icelandic MFA
Head of Security and Disarmament Division Thordur
Bjarni Gudjonsson February 14. Gudjonsson told us
March 2 that his government had a day earlier decided
to donate approximately EUR 150,000 to the NATO
Training Mission-Iraq (NTM-I) and had informed the
North Atlantic Council. (Note: this is Iceland's
second pledge to NTM-I: it also donated EUR 150,000 in
February 2005. End note.) Gudjonsson added that
Iceland would not, however, make new airlift donations
for Afghanistan at this time.
