(C) During a May 19 meeting with Poloff, MEA Director (Americas) Renu Pall expressed gratitude on behalf of the MEA's Americas and International Security divisions for keeping them in the loop on Washington's diplomatic CT efforts (Refs A-D). Admitting that MEA had limited information on terrorist groups based outside of South Asia, she remarked that keeping her apprised of our intentions to act against these groups signaled that US-India engagement on CT is "more than a tactical relationship." Pall also thanked us for what she called a "long and laborious process" to add Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) to the UNSC 1267 Committee Sanctions list (Ref D). ¶2. (C) Pall had no substantive comments on Refs A-C designations. BLAKE
