The panel included Ambassador Said Tayeb Jawad, Ambassador of Afghanistan to the United States; Ambassador Dr. Robert Finn, former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan (the first U.S. ambassador after the fall of the Taliban), and Ertegun Visiting Professor of Turcology at Princeton University on assignment from the Department of State; Ambassador Michael Schmunk, former Personal Envoy of German Chancellor Schroeder to Afghanistan, and Visiting Diplomat in Residence at the German Institute for International Politics and Security, Berlin; Ambassador Mufit Ozdes, former Ambassador of Turkey to Afghanistan. The panel was chaired by LISD Director, Wolfgang Danspeckgruber. That panel discussion was a part of the ongoing LISD project on "Building State and Security in Afghanistan," a project supported by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. |
