1. (C) Post assesses that Pakistan would not be willing to
contribute troops or other support to the current Iraq
Coalition, nor would it be productive to raise the matter
with the Government of Pakistan at this time.
2. (C) Pakistani officials have intimated privately in the
past that they would consider sending troops to Iraq at some
future date as part of a UN peacekeeping operation.
Pakistan's standard conditions for contributing troops to UN
missions include a UN (preferably Security Council) mandate,
consent of the host country, and troop utilization for
"peacekeeping" rather than "peace enforcement" purposes.
