1. (C) PolCouns delivered reftel points to Ministry of
External Affairs (MEA) Joint Secretary (Pakistan, Iran and
Afghanistan) Dilip Sinha April 9. Amandeep Singh Gill,
Director of MEA Disarmament and International Security
Affairs, told PolOff April 10 that the MEA had instructed its
Embassy in Tehran not to send any diplomats to the Natanz
Fuel Enrichment Plant ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 9, and
that no official representative from India had attended.
2. (C) COMMENT: In addition to boycotting the Natanz
ceremony, India has thus far, a) fully enforced UN Security
Council sanctions, b) voted with us at the International
Atomic Energy Association Board of Governors, and c) rebuffed
invitations for Prime Minister Singh to visit. We now need
them to do more publicly to pressure Tehran and say less
publicly that business continues as usual on the
Iran-Pakistan-India Gas Pipeline and other relations. END
COMMENT.
