    SUBJECT: NEW ZEALAND INPUT TO AFGHANISTAN STRATEGY REVIEW

    REF: STATE 15623

    Classified By: Embassy Wellington Charge David J. Keegan. Reasons E.O.
    12958, Reasons 1.4 (a), (b), and (d).

     ¶1.  (U) Reftel request was forwarded to the Government of
    New Zealand. Post received the following response from
    Michael Green, the Acting Deputy Secretary in the Ministry of
    Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT), handling Afghanistan among
    other responsibilities.

    Begin GNZ response.

    (C) Thanks for the offer to contribute. The following
    comments have been cleared with the Minister and with
    Defence. They don't really sit comfortably with the headings
    you proposed but should nevertheless convey to Washington a
    sense of our current thinking.

    o New Zealand is about to undertake a review of its
    commitments to Afghanistan as a basis for decisions about
    engagement beyond the current mandates (which end on 30
    September 2010). Pending the outcome of this review,
    responses on some of your points must be cast in fairly
    general terms;

    o New Zealand seeks an Afghanistan that is sustainable as an
    independent nation, free from major risk of subversion and
    from being used again as a base for international terrorism;

    o New Zealand supports the NATO Comprehensive Strategic
    Political Military Plan and the Afghanistan National
    Development Strategy, while noting that they are frameworks
    only, do not guarantee success, and are currently either
    inadequately resourced, or not coherently implemented. Better
    civil/military coordination is necessary;

    o All ISAF contributor countries, whether members of NATO or
    not, must be involved in the planning and monitoring
    processes of the international community;

    o New Zealand considers that a sustainable Afghanistan is
    only achievable on Afghan models and ultimately with Afghan
    resources, and that international contributors must shape
    their assistance efforts to that end;

    o In particular, the Afghan polity must be supported to
    produce real and increasing benefits for its people;

    o Priority should be given to supporting Afghan governance
    models and Afghan institutions, with priority attention to
    the ANA and the ANP;

    o Reconcilable Taliban must be induced through a variety of
    means to join the Afghan polity as contributing elements;
    irreconcilable Taliban must be reduced as a threat, at least
    to manageable proportions;

    o Ways to reduce the ability of the Taliban to use Pakistan
    as a base must be pursued; Pakistan's support for the Taliban
    must be significantly curtailed;

    o Counter-insurgency military action must continue, but with
    a focus on methods that minimize civilian casualties;

    o The use of force in general must be carefully calibrated.
    Other elements, particularly diplomacy and development, will
    be crucial to success in the long term;

    o Efforts to combat narcotics production and trafficking and
    corruption must continue, although success in these areas
    will probably be coterminous with, rather than precede,
    success in other areas.

    End GNZ response.

    ¶2.  (C) In charge conversations with Minister of Foreign
    Affairs Murray McCully and Minister of Defence Wayne Mapp, as
    well as conversations with MFAT and Ministry of Defence
    officials, it has been made clear that the GNZ understands
    that the U.S. will be making requests for additional
    resources to support efforts in Afghanistan. The GNZ  says
    they will consider those requests commensurate with their
    existing commitments, including Afghanistan, and the small
    size of their military.
