SUBJECT: SOUTH AFRICA: U.S. APPROACH TO 2010 NPT REVCON
REF: STATE 126209
(SBU) Pretoria welcomes the comprehensive guidance provided
on the U.S. approach to the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty Review Conference (NPT RevCon). On December 19, we
delivered reftel points to the Department of International
Relations and Cooperation U.S. Desk and Directorate for
Nuclear Disarmament and Nonproliferation. Deputy Political
Counselor then followed up in a December 22 meeting with
Deputy Director for Nuclear Disarmament and Nonproliferation
Johann Kellerman. Recalling the useful NPT discussions that
took place during Special Advisor Robert Einhorn's August
visit to Pretoria, Kellerman said his government looks
forward to further discussions on the NPT during the upcoming
February visit of Ambassador Susan Burk. We will continue to
seek opportunities to share the U.S. approach to the NPT
RevCon with our South Africa interlocutors.
