1. Ramhari Neupane, Deputy Director of the Banks and
Financial Institutions Regulations Department at Nepal Rastra
("National") Bank or NRB, provided a written response to
Reftel demarches from November regarding the designations of
Saudi nationals and Iranian individuals and entities
variously under UNSCR 1267 and E.O. 13224 and 13382, as well
as the Financial Action Task Force statement on Iran from
October. Neupane reiterated what he and his colleagues had
told Emboff in person. He indicated that the NRB would
follow U.S. recommendations to freeze assets and block
transactions should the named Saudi persons and Iranian
entities find their way into the Nepalese banking system.
Emboff has forwarded the English-language email and attached
document to the Nepal desk officer in SCA/INS.
