1. (C) On June 28, PolOff delivered reftel points to Amir
Shaukat, Director for Afghanistan at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. Shaukat told PolOff the Government of Pakistan
would participate in the July 2-3 Afghan Rule of Law
Conference in Rome. Shaukat said Interior Minister Sherpao
would "very likely" participate, but that his attendance
could not be confirmed until he returned from China on June
30. If Sherpao was unable to participate, Mirza Qamar Beg,
Pakistan's Ambassador in Rome, would attend in Sherpao's
place. According to Shaukat, Beg was a former Federal
Commerce Secretary, and he had served in government in law
related ministries both in Islamabad and in other parts of
Pakistan.
2. (C) Shaukat said he did not know whether Pakistan would
make additional pledges of support, but he believed Pakistan
would "at the very least" reaffirm its commitment to ongoing
judicial and sharia judicial trainings for Afghans. Shaukat
noted Italian Foreign Minister Massimo d'Alema asked
President Musharraf for high-level participation in the
Conference during a late May meeting in Islamabad.
