(C) Charge and A/DCM met with Mr. Saleumxay Kommasith,
Acting Director General, Department of International
Organizations, Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA),to deliver
referenced demarche on July 25. Saleumxay said he was well
aware of the requirements of UN Member States under UNSCR
1737 and 1747. MFA has drafted its submissions, and these
are being cleared with other Government of Laos (GOL)
agencies. Since Laos has diplomatic relations with Iran and
a range of ongoing bilateral activities, the clearance
process is taking some time. He pointed out that the GOL is
taking measures under its legal framework to prevent the
possible transfers or activities prohibited under the UNSCRs,
and MFA is acting as liaison with other GOL agencies in this
effort. Since 9/11, Saleumxay noted, the GOL has adopted a
number of measures and modified others to respond to
international developments. He promised MFA would push the
other GOL agencies to provide full information and clear the
submissions as soon as possible.
