Department, also attended the meeting.
2. (C) Ambassador Arnall expressed appreciation for the
ongoing Dutch contribution of 15 trainers to NTM-I, but
stressed that significant shortfalls in the Trust Fund still
existed. He urged the Dutch to consider making an additional
financial contribution, and to encourage other allies to do
the same. In response, Siblesz noted that the GONL was
committed to maintaining its presence in the training
mission; he expected this mission would be renewed shortly.
On funding, Siblesz made no promises but said he would "look
into" the possibility of making an additional contribution.
