1. (S) Poloff delivered Ref A message concerning the delivery of a false end-user certificate by a Pakistan missile entity to a Chinese supplier and attempts by Iran's Shahid Bakeri Industrial Group to procure steel plates in China to MFA Arms Control and Disarmament Department Missile Division Third Secretary He Yi on January 24. He promised to share our information with senior MFA officials. 2. (S) Poloff told He that China should immediately investigate these cases, particularly given that in December 2006 the China North Wanxing International Corporation was planning to ship the steel plates two months after the establishment of a letter of credit. Poloff also urged China to share with us the results of its investigation. RANDT NNNN End Cable Text |
