SUBJECT: SUPPORTING HUNGARY'S PRT WITH A FOREIGN SERVICE
POSITION

1. EMBASSY BUDAPEST STRONGLY SUPPORTS EMBASSY KABUL'S CALL
FOR THE ASSIGNMENT OF A US OFFICER TO THE HUNGARIAN PRT IN
POL-E-KHOMRI.

2. PROMOTING THE SUCCESS OF HUNGARY'S PRT IS AMONG OUR KEY
BILATERAL PRIORITIES. TANGIBLE SUCCESS ON THE GROUND IN
AFGHANISTAN WILL HELP US MAKE THE CASE FOR A CONCERTED GOH
EFFORT TO FULLY MEET ITS COMMITMENTS AS A NATO ALLY AND TO
COMPLETE THE TRANSITION FROM CONSUMER TO PROVIDER OF SECURITY
WITHIN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

3. WE BELIEVE THE INVESTMENT OF A DETAILEE CAN MATERIALLY
ENHANCE THE HUNGARIAN PRT AND, IN TURN, HUNGARY'S CONTINUED
DEVELOPMENT AS A PARTNER READY, WILLING, AND ABLE TO SUPPORT
OUR GLOBAL AGENDA.
