1. (C) On October 8, Rudra Nepal, Under Secretary for UN and
International Organizations at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, told Emboff that nonproliferation and nuclear
disarmament are very important issues to the Government of
Nepal (GON),and Iran should comply with its international
obligations. Emboff provided Rudra Nepal a readout on the
P5 1 talks with Iran in Geneva on October 1 (Ref A) and
emphasized the existence of the covert uranium enrichment
facility near Qom (Ref B). Emboff requested that the GON
press Iran to keep its commitments made at the Geneva talks
and support the dual track strategy. The Under Secretary
said Iran's actions following the Geneva meeting would
determine how the GON responds. He admitted his government
has very little interaction with Iran, but the Foreign
Ministry would keep U.S. concerns in mind should the Nepalese
ambassador in Islamabad, who is accredited to Iran, ever meet
with Iranian officials.
2. (C) Comment: The GON is unlikely to follow up on any
Iran-related issue, either publicly or privately.
