And By May 5-7, I Mean May 6-8

Remember how I wrote yesterday that the next round of Afghanistan/Pakistan/U.S. trilateral talks would be held in Washington on May 5 to 7? According to a release from the Afghanistan embassy, I was off by a day. Here’s a list of some Afghan officials coming to town:

* Second Vice President Mohammad Karim Khalili (April 20-22)
* Minister of Finance Dr. Omar Zakhilwal (April 21-26)
* Governor of the Central Bank Mr. Abdul Qadeer Fitrat (April 21-26)
* Minister of Commerce and Industry Mr. Wahidullah Shahrani (May 7-8)
* Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Rangin D. Spanta (May 6-8)
* Minister of Defense General Abdul Rahim Wardak (May 6-8)
* Minister of Interior Mohammad Hanif Atmar (May 6-8)
* Minister of Mines and Energy Mr. Mohammad Ibrahim Adel (May 12)

And then the embassy says that Spanta, Wardak and Atmar will “join their Pakistani counterparts and U.S. officials for a second round of trilateral discussions on the new U.S. strategy towards Afghanistan and Pakistan.” So, off by a day. I’ll just be over in the corner picking up the pieces of my career.
