¶1. (S) PolOff delivered ref A demarche and non-paper
regarding the concurrent Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) meeting
in Tehran and the July 28 DPRK-to-Iran flight of
proliferation concern to MFA Arms Control and Disarmament
Department Missile Division Director Zhang Junan on July 25.
PolOff stressed that the United States does not wish to

meeting, but urged careful scrutiny of the flight including a
possible overflight denial or requiring a landing for
inspection, as appropriate. Director Zhang thanked PolOff
for the additional information and said China will "consider
it carefully" in deciding on a course of action.
