SUBJECT: MAURITIUS: A COOL RESPONSE TO U.S. BRIEFING ON
OUTCOME OF P5+1 TALKS

REF: SECSTATE 103219

Classified By: CDA Virginia Blaser for reasons 1.4 (b, d)

(C) On October 14, the CDA delivered reftel points to
Ambassador Patrice Cure, Head of Multilateral Directorate -
Political, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration
and International Trade. Cure stated that he did not view
Iran as a nuclear threat. Iran has the right to peaceful use
of nuclear energy, he said, and in his view the current
situation is more "political posturing" than anything else.
When the CDA asked if he thought Iran should be able to act
with no repurcussions, Cure responded that Mauritius would
support a process of negotiation through the IAEA. In
regards to applying pressure on Iran, Cure said Mauritius
does not want to link human rights and the nuclear issue, and
will engage separately on the two.
