Division Counselor Dimity Lukiyantsev. Lukiyantsev said that
the GOR was pleased to learn that the U.S. was considering
resuming consultations with ASEAN regarding P-5 adherence to
the SEANWFZ protocol. He explained that the GOR was also
waiting for ASEAN to respond to the joint paper delivered to
ASEAN by France on behalf of the P-4 in 2002, a point that
was stressed during the annual Russia-ASEAN meeting held in
Moscow in February. The ASEAN delegation told the GOR that
ASEAN could provide a response as early as March or April.
