1. (C) On January 18, Polcouns delivered reftel demarche and
talking points to MFA Director for Multilateral Affairs
Gustavo Alvarez. Alvarez listened attentively and seemed
particularly interested in what steps the UN Security Council
might take in response to the international community's
growing concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions. He
acknowledged that Iran was a major importer of Uruguayan
rice, but also indicated that the GOU was concerned about
Iran's nuclear proliferation, its likely role in the 1990s
AMIA Center bombing in Buenos Aires and President
Ahmadinejad's ""unfortunate"" recent remarks regarding Israel.
He said that although Uruguay was not influential with the
UNSC or the IAEA, he would discuss the matter further with
his colleagues at the MFA and the UN.
