1. (C) On 4/7, D/Polcouns delivered reftel points, background
and draft diplomatic note regarding PSI endorsement to
Foreign Ministry Director of Multilateral Affairs Julio
Garro. Since this was the first time we had discussed PSI
with Garro, who is still relatively new to his position,
Emboff briefed him on previous GOP expressions of general
support for PSI objectives (Refs B-D),while noting that we
were not aware of Peru having issued a specific statement of
support for the PSI Interdiction Principles.
2. (C) Garro said that to the extent he was familiar with the
Principles, he could see nothing to fault, since it was
clearly in the interest of all states to cooperate in
resisting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Any difficulty Peru might have in making an explicit
endorsement of the Principles would problem stem from the
reference to "States ... of proliferation concern," and
possibly being put on the spot about which states are being
referred to. Garro said he would consult with experts at the
Foreign and Defense Ministries, and would re-engage with us
when he had had the chance to assess the views of GOP
stakeholders.
