1. (S) On March 11, EconOff delivered ref A talking points on UAE
nuclear cooperation with third countries, specifically Pakistan, to
MFA Special Representative for International Nuclear Cooperation and
UAE IAEA Permanent Representative Hamad Al Kaabi. Al Kaabi said the
UAE has not changed its policy, outlined in its April 2008 White
Paper, on cooperation with non-NPT signatories. He said while the
UAE may receive "offers" from a variety of actors (e.g. Pakistan and
Iran),such offers do not mean the UAE is interested in cooperating
with those countries. Al Kaabi stressed that there is no nuclear
cooperation or activity between the UAE and Pakistan.


2. (S) Econoff asked that the UAEG provide a specific written
confirmation that cooperation with non-NPT parties is precluded. Al
Kaabi said that the 2008 White Paper is the stated UAE government
policy. However, he agreed to discuss the request with other MFA
officials. Post will report any further response septel.
