1. (SBU) E/P Chief met on May 15 with MFA Director for Multilateral
Relations Ms. Enkhtsetseg and drew on reftel points to urge that
Mongolia support the three ARF initiatives the United States tabled
in Helsinki in late March. Enkhtsetseg expressed appreciation for
receiving copies of the revised U.S. drafts. She said she would
study the drafts on the Inter-Sessional Meeting (ISM) Working Groups
and the establishment of an annual ISM on Nonproliferation, and then
respond to the Embassy with Mongolia's position.

1540 implementation, she smiled, Mongolia would endorse it. (Note:
The U.S. has formally offered to provide assistance to Mongolia to
enable it to better comply with UNSCR 1540. A Department of Energy
team is slated to visit Mongolia to discuss the details of the
assistance.)
