(C) PolCouns delivered reftel demarche on October 5 to MFA DG
for North American Affairs, Khaled Zekriya, who said he would
relay them immediately to Deputy ForMin for Political Affairs
Aziz. Zekriya called back within an hour to confirm that the
GOA accepts the U.S. points. He pointed out that Afghanistan
fully supports the points in the resolution on the DPRK
nuclear program passed at the recent IAEA conference.

including a letter from the President of the Security Council
and other actions including sanctions, Zekriya responded "but
of course, we are partners in this."
