REF: STATE 4834 
 
Classified By: Ambassador James Cain, reasons 1.4b,d 
 
¶1. (C) Ambassador Cain highlighted for Danish MFA Permanent 
Secretary (deputy FM) Ulrik Federspiel the urgent need to 
 
SIPDIS 
seize the momentum in Afghanistan, to pre-empt and thwart an 
anticipated Taliban offensive in the spring.  The United 
States plans to increase our forces and assistance as part of 
that effort, he said, and we are looking to Denmark and other 
allies to accelerate and step up their contributions. 
Ambassador Cain encouraged Federspiel, who will attend the 
January 26 ministerial, to consider SHAPE's recommendations 
to address specific needs and shortfalls, and to look at 
increasing development aid in response to the forthcoming 
coordinated list of high-priority, high-impact projects.  The 
United States recognizes that Denmark has been a stalwart 
ally in Afghanistan, Ambassador Cain noted, but the stakes 
for NATO could not be higher. 
 
¶2. (C) Federspiel responded that Denmark shares "completely" 
our assessment of the situation in Afghanistan, and, without 
making any commitments, indicated that the Danish government 
is reviewing its assistance options and possible 
contributions of special forces.  He also welcomed our 
emphasis on a comprehensive approach for improved 
civilian-military coordination, and agreed on the need for 
NATO-ISAF to have greater flexibility. Federspiel reported 
that Danish efforts to persuade the Germans to lift their 
caveats have not met with much success, and predicted that 
Chancellor Merkel will not be moved on this issue. 
 
¶3. (C) That said, Federspiel noted that the Danes have been 
among those "doing the heavy lifting" in Afghanistan, 
operating in the difficult Helmand province, and provided us 
with a paper outlining Danish assistance to Afghanistan to 
date, which includes 117 million USD in reconstruction and 
democratization assistance for Afghanistan over five years, 
ending in 2009. 
 
¶4. (C) Ambassador Cain took advantage of the meeting to press 
Federspiel to take a hard look at overall defense spending, 
with an eye toward adjusting the Danish defense budget to 
meet the NATO target of two percent of GDP.  Federspiel 
indicated that the government's multi-year defense plan would 
not be negotiated among the parliamentary groupings until 
next year, and at this point it is too early to tell what 
public attitudes will be toward international commitments -- 
which increasingly serve as the primary mission for the 
Danish military.
