1. (U) MFA desk officer Yasuko Muller delivered Luxembourg's
intended announcement details concerning new contributions for the
Afghanistan National Army (ANA) trust fund and developmental aid to
Pol/Econ Chief January 27 just before she departed for the London
Conference.
2. (U) It is the GoL "intention to announce a new
contribution of four million Euros (USD six million) to the ANA
Trust Fund (2010)." Concerning development aid, GoL's
"contribution for 2010 will amount to just over two and one half
million Euros (slightly less than three million USD). This level
of support will be sustained in the medium-term (2010-2014)."
3. (U) In all the GoL contribution from 2000 to 2010 totals
40 million Euros (USD 60 million) in addition to their
participation in ISAF. (Note: Currently GoL has nine soldiers at
the Kabul airport. End note.)
4. (S/NF) According to USDAO the Gol may increase the number
of soldiers it sends to Afghanistan. An increase in their troop
levels has not been announced publicly by GoL or confirmed
privately. If a final decision to increase troop numbers has been
made but is not yet ready for release, it may explain why Yasuko
did not list the numbers for GoL troops in ISAF.
5. (U) POC this action is Pol/Econ Chief, Michael A. Via,
