1. (C) Pol Chief delivered the points in ref A to MOFA North
American Affairs Division Director General Harry Tseng on
June 25. Tseng noted that, although Taiwan is not a UN
member or party to key non-proliferation regimes, it makes
every effort to comply with relevant resolutions and
standards. He noted that there was a precedent for Taiwan
assisting in counter-proliferation activities against North
Korea, citing a case several years ago in which Taiwan
customs authorities impounded dual-use chemicals being
transshipped through the port of Kaohsiung. Econoff also
delivered the points to Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA)
Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) Trade Services Team Chief
Huang Ching-yun on June 25. Huang had no substantive
response.

as Financial Supervisory Commission Banking Bureau Chief Chen
Ruei-long, neither of whom had a substantive response.
