Dear Ambassador Shamsi:
Congratulations on your recent appointment as Special
Representative of the United Arab Emirates for Afghanistan
and Pakistan. The UAE has played a key role advancing our
shared goal of bringing security and stability to Afghanistan
and Pakistan. The decision to appoint you as Special
Representative demonstrates your government's commitment to
working with the international community on this critically
important undertaking.
The purpose of the Afghanistan Pakistan Support Group, as
this group of Special Representatives is known, is to bring
about solutions to the root causes of destabilization in
Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Special Representatives all
are empowered by their governments to direct policy towards
this end, a crucial element of the group's purpose and
efficacy. We first met in Munich on April 1, where we
cleared the way for the creation of the European Gendarme
Force Afghanistan training initiative. During the Pakistan
Donors Conference in Tokyo, we identified a strategy for
maximizing the potential of the $5 billion in donor pledges.
On May 18 in Istanbul, we set in motion development of a
comprehensive inventory and monitoring process for assistance
activities in Afghanistan, starting with agriculture. Our
next meeting will be in Trieste, Italy, on June 26; we are
also discussing holding a meeting in Kabul.
I encourage you to contact German Special Representative
Bernd Mtzelburg, the chair and convening authority of the
Afghanistan Pakistan Support Group, as soon as possible.
Congratulations once again, and I look forward to working
with you in the coming months on this top priority. If you
can visit Washington, I would look forward to welcoming you.
Please give my regards to Foreign Minister Abdullah.
Sincerely,
Richard Holbrooke
Special Representative for
Afghanistan and Pakistan
