(C) MFA Principal Assistant Secretary for Disarmament Nur
Izzah Wong Mee Choo gave no indication that Malaysia's
position on the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic
Missile Proliferation (HCOC) would change in the near future.
She told us April 25 that recent checks with "other
agencies" in the Malaysian government had revealed that their
longstanding opposition to the HCOC was unchanged. We asked
if the current GOM policy was under current interagency or
other review and she replied that it was not. We encouraged
her to consider the demarche carefully and share our points
and papers with her colleagues. She undertook to do so.
(NOTE: Malaysia was one of the eleven nations that abstained
on GA Resolution 60/62.)
