Classified By: POLMC Joseph Yun for reasons 1.4 (b/d)
1. (U) Post delivered points in reftel A, para 7; and USG
officials (DOD and Post) have solicited ROKG feedback
(Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Ministry of National
Defense, and the Blue House) on the Afghanistan/Pakistan
Policy Review.
2. (C) The ROKG did not have any input on the content of
the review at this time, but believed that it would be in a
better position to offer feedback as it learned the full
extent of the changes in strategy (reftel B). MOFAT
requested on March 5 a preview of the outcome of the policy
review after it was concluded, but before the NATO meeting in
early April. Consequently, the ROKG would welcome a
conference as described in reftel C, if one were to occur.
