A UN Security Council resolution adopted last month calls for a special force, estimated to number 4,000 soldiers, to protect UN personnel and facilities in Iraq.
Among the countries identified by diplomats as possible participants in the force are Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Nepal and Ukraine.
"With the appointment of senior Pakistani diplomat Ashraf Jehangir Qazi as the Secretary General's new representative for Iraq, Islamabad now has a direct interest in protecting the UN mission," Dawn said, quoting the sources.
Okabe said Musharraf had agreed to release Qazi from his ambassadorial duties in Washington within two weeks.
