DISCUSSION AT BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEETING

REF: STATE 57093 (NOTAL)


1. PolOff delivered reftel demarche encouraging China to
support a full and open discussion of fuel bank assurances at
the June 15-18 IAEA Board of Governors meeting, including
advocating with other countries to do the same, to Arms
Control and Disarmament Department Nuclear Division Deputy
Director Zhang Shen on June 5. Zhang responded that China
supported the idea of multilateral fuel assurances and
therefore welcomed the opportunity to discuss this issue at
the June 15-18 Board of Governors meeting. China would
"engage constructively" on this issue, looked forward to an
"in-depth and substantive discussion," and was ready to
listen to other Board members' views, Zhang said.
