SUBJECT: BHUTAN HAPPY TO JOIN CT CONVENTIONS, BUT
RATIFICATION WILL TAKE TIME
REF: STATE 269653
Responding to our December 29 demarche on ratifying
counterterrorism conventions and protocols (reftel),
Bhutanese Embassy official Karma Rinchhen told Poloff that
"Bhutan would be happy to join international counterterrorism
efforts." He noted, however, that the National Assembly must
approve all conventions and protocols in order for
ratification to occur, and that this can take some time. He
promised to convey our points to Foreign Ministry officials
in Thimpu, who would be responsible for submitting any
documents to the National Assembly for ratification. We will
follow up.
