(SBU) On December 14, poloff conveyed talking points
contained in reftel to Jesper Segelcke Thomsen, Deputy Head,
Stabilization Department - Pakistan, MFA. Thomsen said that
even though the UN has yet to issue its 2010 Humanitarian
Appeal, the MFA is keenly aware of pressing WFP needs in
Pakistan's frontier territories and is already discussing the
actual amount it will donate. Thomsen added that Denmark
recognizes the political dimension of this issue,
specifically the need to diminish the desperation of
internally-displaced populations in that country's frontier
regions, which could make them susceptible to radicalization.
The MFA will convey to us its donation amount as soon as it
is determined.
