1. (SBU) Australia is a strong partner with the U.S. and the
multilateral community in working to prevent nuclear
proliferation. As an NPT signatory, the GOA takes a
multi-dimensional approach to nuclear non-proliferation and
disarmament. The GOA is a major supporter of the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has worked to strengthen
it in every aspect - disarmament, non-proliferation and the
peaceful use of nuclear energy. The GOA has consistently
stated that Iran must live up to its obligations under the
NPT and cooperate fully with International Atomic Energy
Agency and UN Security Council resolutions. The GOA has
consistently called on the remaining states not party to the
Treaty - India, Israel and Pakistan - to accede without
preconditions.
