1. (C) On September 8, UAE Ambassador to U.S. Youssef al-Otaiba
passed written points, prepared by the UAE MFA, covering UAE views
on upcoming discussions on the Iranian nuclear issue.. The paper
focused on planned discussions of the P5+1+GCC+3 (Jordan, Egypt, and
Iraq) to be held on the margins of the 64th UNGA this September.
Below is a translation of the Arabic text.
2. (C) BEGIN TEXT.
A fundamental idea of the most important points, according to the
Foreign Ministry of the United Arab Emirates, regarding the Iranian
nuclear program, to be expressed during the discussions between the
Foreign Ministers of the Cooperation Council states, with the
addition of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and the P5-plus-One (the permanent
member States of the Security Council, plus Germany),on the
sidelines of the meetings of the United Nations' General Assembly in
September, 2009.
(1) Demonstrate the highest standards of transparency for the Iran
nuclear program, and remove any doubts surrounding its nuclear
cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the
international community.
(2) Convince the world powers and Israel that the use of force
against Iran would be disastrous for the region and its people, and
urge them towards a peaceful solution to the issue.
(3) The states of the Cooperation Council emphasize that there will
be no agreement with the Iranian side at the expense of the states of
the region, without first taking into account the opinion of these
states on the issue.
(4) Strengthen international cooperation in order to stop states,
companies and individuals involved in developing this [Iranian
nuclear] program.
(5) Create an international bank for nuclear fuel (uranium) under
the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The bank
would supply states with the nuclear fuel they require, and dispose
safely of spent fuel.
(6) Demonstrate the negative effects this program would have on the
environment in the event of a leak resulting from negligence, a lack
of necessary standards, earthquakes, or acts of sabotage in the
region.
(7) Benefit from the transparency of the Emirates' program and its
scientific standards as a model for the region.
(8) This meeting should become a regular mechanism for consultation,
meeting twice a year at a minimum.
(9) Regular meetings of experts and senior officials must be held in
order to develop a work and follow-up mechanism.
(10) Broaden the group to include Turkey.
