REF: KABUL 1039
(SBU) FM Spanta informed the Deputy Ambassador on May 16 that
the May 19 trilateral summit among Presidents Karzai, Zardari
and Ahmadinejad would be postponed indefinitely. MFA Senior
Advisor Davood Marodian informed us that the Pakistan side
asked for the postponement. The scheduling change will be a
setback for Ahmadinejad, who reportedly hoped to host the
summit meeting sometime prior to the June 12 presidential
election.
