C O N F I D E N T I A L JAKARTA 001349 SIPDIS SIPDIS DEPARTMENT FOR ISN/RA NEPHEW E.O. 12958: DECL: 05/14/2017 TAGS: PARM KNNP IR ID SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR VIGILANCE AND RESTRAINT REGARDING TRAVEL OF UNSC-DESIGNATED IRANIANS REF: STATE 612222 ¶1. (C) We discussed reftel concerns with Andy Rachmianto, Deputy Director for WMD issues in the Office of International Security and Disarmament in the Department of Foreign Affairs on May 14. We emphasized that it was incumbent upon all countries to uphold the sanctions imposed through UNSCR 1737 and 1747. We stressed that, although we had received no word of Indonesian actions inconsistent with these resolutions, it was not in Indonesia's interest, particularly as a member of the UN Security Council, to allow travel of Iranian officials from designated institutions to travel to Indonesia. ¶2. (C) Rachmianto said the government of Indonesia had circulated the list of designated Iranians and Iranian institutions to relevant agencies and had instructed agencies to be vigilant with funding as well. The list was clear regarding individuals but less clear regarding institutions. He related that Indonesia had invited an Iranian official from a designated institution to a recent conference hosted by the Indonesian Atomic Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on peaceful uses of nuclear energy, and that the GOI had sent notification to the 1747 Committee, as required.
