1. (C) On November 7, EconOff delivered Iranian Banking
Demarche (reftel) to Maria Mendoza, Head of the Americas
Section at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The demarche was
given orally along with a white paper in Spanish. Mendoza
took issue with the "casual nature" of the white paper. She
said that it was difficult to forward any information given
in this way through the Ministry. She requested that any
demarches now be delivered via formal diplomatic note.
Regarding the content of the demarche, Mendoza said that
Bolivia was well aware of its United Nations obligations and
complied with them 100 percent of the time. She seemed
miffed about being informed of these obligations by the
Embassy and did not appear to value being informed of U.S.
actions regarding the UN obligations.
2. (C) The white paper was also shared informally with the
director of the Bolivian Banking Association, Marcelo
Montero. He said that members of the association were well
aware of the situation, but would pass along the information
in any case.
