(C) On February 27, Deputy POL M/C delivered reftel points
seeking cooperation in pressing Iran to comply with UNSCR
1737 and cooperate with the IAEA to Park Chul-min, MOFAT's
Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Division Director. Noting
that he would attend the IAEA BOG meetings in March, Park
agreed that it was important for Iran to abide by UNSCR 1737.
ROKG officials might not use the same language as US
counterparts at the March IAEA meetings, but Seoul shared the
same objective as Washington, he said. He opined that it
might be wise for the IAEA to limit its technical cooperation
with Iran. In his view, however, the main focus for action
should be the UNSC rather than the IAEA. The ROKG would join
whatever action the UNSC decided to take on Iran, he said.
