Panamanian MFA DG for International Political Affairs Javier
Bonagas undertook to check into the status of Panama's Annual
Declaration (AD) on space and ballistic missile policies in
response to May 14 inquiry by POLCOUNS. Bonagas said Panama
would submit as soon as possible its AD to the Immediate
Central Contact (ICC) with respect to its participation in
the Hague Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile
Proliferation (HCOC). Since Panama was in the midst of
preparations for the General Assembly of the Organization of
American States to be held June 3-5 though, Bonagas said that
it might not be possible to provide an answer before the next
meeting to be held May 31-June, unless Panama's response was
already being prepared. Bonagas requested a copy of the text
of the HCOC and the "nil form," noting he was particularly
relieved that such a simplified format was available to
countries such as Panama that did not have a ballistic
missile program. Post would appreciate Department's
assistance in providing the HCOC text and the "nil form" as
soon as possible so that it may be shared with Bonagas'
office. Post will report any further developments on this
matter.
