1. (S) On February 5, MFA International Organizations and
Conferences Department UN Division Deputy Director Shen Yin
Yin told POLOFF "upon instruction" that China "attached great
importance" to the U.S. UNSCR 1267 listing request (Ref A),
based on China's support of anti-terrorism efforts and
U.S.-China cooperation on terrorism issues. Shen stated that
China continues to study and give serious consideration to
these cases.
2. (S) However, "Pakistan has a different view" about these
cases, Deputy Director Shen said. Noting that current
India-Pakistan relations remain sensitive and that the
investigation into the Mumbai terror attacks is on-going,
Shen said China hoped that the United States and Pakistan
would "seek an appropriate solution through consultation" in
order to avoid any "new complications in South Asia" or
negative impact on the Mumbai investigations. Asked whether
Pakistan had asked China to place a hold on these cases, Shen
said she could not confirm Pakistan had requested a hold, but
noted that China is "consulting" with Pakistan on these
cases.
