1. (C) A/PolCouns delivered reftel points to FM Spanta's
Senior Policy Advisor Davood Moradian June 9. Moradian
assured us the GOA was completely in agreement with U.S.
points and supported U.S. goals for the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization (SCO),including continued U.S. and allied
access to Manas AIR Base.
2. (C) Moradian reported that Afghanistan's Embassies in
Moscow, Kazakhstan, and Beijing heard that Russia intends to
be "provocative" at the August Bishkek Summit and will likely
raise its concerns about foreign forces in Afghanistan. He
understood that Russia's National Security Advisor plans to
propose an SCO working group on Afghanistan. The GOA expects
Afghanistan will be a major focus at the Summit. To prepare,
the GOA is in the process of articulating an Afghan policy
toward the SCO in order to engage the group more actively and
deeply. One of Afghanistan's goals will be to "demilitarize
and depoliticize" relations with SCO countries and focus on
critical policy issues such as counternarcotics.
3. (C) Moradian indicated that FM Spanta plans to attend the
Summit. President Karzai "will likely attend." A/PolCouns
encouraged President Karzai's active participation and that
he both privately and publicly reinforce the importance of
Manas AIR Base to Afghanistan's security and stability.
