1. (S) On May 8, A/POL conveyed reftel points highlighting
the costs of allowing individuals designated under UNSCRs
1737 and 1747 to travel to or through their territories to
Park Chul-min, MOFAT's Disarmament and Non-Proliferation
Division Director. Park said that the ROKG recently held an
inter-Agency meeting to discuss issues related to the travel
of UNSC-designated individuals associated with Iranian
proliferation-related activities and had disseminated their
findings throughout the ROKG. Seoul shared USG concerns and
likewise wanted the international community to deliver a
unified message that Iran needed to come into compliance with
its international nuclear obligations, he said.
2. (S) On a more tactical level, Park stated that the ROKG
would appreciate more information on individuals designated
by UNSCRs 1737 and 1747, such as date of birth or other
identifying specifics, so that Seoul would be better prepared
to exercise its due vigilance and restraint. While Park
noted that the ROKG was doing all it could to monitor the
potential travel to or overflight of Korea by designated
individuals, Park appeared reluctant to take action to
encourage Russia to exercise more restraint.
