1. (C) On June 25, Foreign Policy Advisor to the Prime
Minister Davaasuren confirmed to DCM that on the evening of
June 22 the National Security Council (President, Speaker and
Prime Minister) had agreed to recommend to the Cabinet that
Mongolia send an 8th rotation of soldiers to Iraq. Ahead of
the Cabinet's endorsement of this at its regular weekly
meeting on Wednesday, the Ministry of Defense worked with
Embassy DAO on June 25 on the arrangements for a chartered
flight to depart Ulaanbaatar early on June 30 with the 8th
rotation's 130 Mongolian soldiers (note: up from 100 soldiers
in the 7th rotation, in a response to increased attacks on
Camp Echo, where Mongolian troops provide force protection).


2. (C) On June 23, the DCM reached the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs Americas, Middle East and Africa Deputy Director
General Mounkhou, who confirmed that the NSC had met and
recommended to the NSC that the 8th rotation be approved. He
expected formal notification would follow after the Cabinet
meeting on Wednesday.
