(SBU) In a diplomatic note received by post on October 16,
Foreign Minister Lainez responded formally to reftel A
demarche with the following GOES position on North Korea. An
unofficial translation of the text of the note follows:
"About the issue (North Korean nuclear test),I reaffirm that
the Government of El Salvador always has maintained a foreign
policy oriented toward achieving multilateralism, the
non-proliferation of nuclear arms, and the prohibition of
nuclear testing, in accordance with the principles of the UN
Charter, and in conformity with the international instruments
about the subject, in particular the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Comprehensive Test Ban
Treaty.
In this regard, I would like to state that the Government of
El Salvador will support all initiatives of the United
Nations, especially the Security Council, to prevent and
offset the threat or use of nuclear arms or of any kind of
weapon of mass destruction, independently of the
justifications made, or objectives pursued. Consequently, we
have sent instructions to our Permanent Mission to the United
Nations in New York to support relevant initiatives and to
make a public statement in the First Committee (of the
General Assembly) about the topic."
