text: I'm heading back from meetings on women peace and security at NATO. The chief implementer of WPS at DOD alsotraveled with me. It was extremely productive. SG Rasmussen chaired a meeting on 1325 today of all the NATO memberand partner ambassadors incl DaIcier. The new NATO special rep for 1325 -- the position sponsored by Norway andapproved at the Chicago summit — gave her inaugural address and my DOD colleague and I discussed the US effortsboth generally and in Afghanistan. We were followed by extensive remarks from the NATO ambassadors all of whomtouched on the importance of women's role in security and NATO's mission as well as applauded US leadership. Manymentioned you in their interventions! The ambs from Serbia Azerbaijan and Georgia pointed to their own nationalaction plans (their existence was a surprise to us) as well as the new structures they have put in place to implementthem. The ambassador from Azerbaijan even said that he is hopeful women will contribute to ending their regionalconflict (I will tell Morningstar). The new special rep - a seasoned diplomat who knows her way around NATO --- wantedme to ten you how much you have inspired her -- something I hear everywhere!I'm confident our NATO visit also served to reinforce the importance of the NAP and the US role with our own peopleboth at NATO and DOD.I was sorry to miss the discussion with ASSK but there are more events with her tomw. We are working hard on gettingthe engagement of Burmese women into the formal peace structures being put in place to end the ethnic conflicts.I also met with Vivian Redding at the EU who despite her efforts is unlikely to get a quota for women on public boardsof directors adopted. She too expressed her admiration of you and your leadership.In addition to everything that's been said about Chris Stevens he really understood the important role the women inLibya were playing in peace and security. Whenever I met with Libyan women at meetings in the region they went outof their way to tell me how much he supported them and how much affection they had for him. Such an awful loss.You've been magnificent throughout all this despite how wrenching it's been.U.S. Department of StateCase No. F-2015-04841Doc No. C05739739Date: 05/13/2015STATE DEPT. - PRODUCED TO HOUSE SELECT BENGHAZI COMM.SUBJECT TO AGREEMENT ON SENSITIVE INFORMATION & REDACTIONS.
