1.(C) Summary. Singapore views the outcome of the P5 1 talks
with Iran in Geneva on October 1 as a positive development
and hopes Tehran will follow through with concrete steps
toward fulfilling its commitments to comply with NPT, UNSC
and IAEA obligations. Singapore intends to continue to work
with the international community and to talk directly to the
Iranian government to persuade Iran to positively resolve
issues related to Iran's nuclear program. End Summary.
2. (C) Econ/Political Counselor delivered reftel points to
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Deputy Director,
International Organizations Directorate, Chin Siew Fei on
October 5. Chin, who was instrumental in getting Singapore
to block a Non-Aligned Movement consensus on Iran's proposal
to ban military strikes on nuclear facilities at the recent
IAEA General Conference, expressed appreciation for the
briefing, saying it was important for the U.S. and Singapore
to keep each other informed on the Iran nuclear issue.
Singapore saw the outcome of the P5 1 talks as a "positive
development," Chin said, adding that the revelation of
existence of the uranium enrichment facility at Qom may have
added pressure on Tehran to be more cooperative. Chin was
aware of Director General El Baradei's visit to Iran and said
Iran's agreement to allow IAEA access to the Qom facility
could be seen as a positive, concrete step by Iran, however,
the international community needed to assess the actual
cooperation the IAEA inspectors will receive before assessing
how well Iran is following through.
3. (C) Singapore looks forward to continuing to cooperate
with the international community on the Iran nuclear issue,
Chin stated. She said Singapore will also continue to raise
the need for Iran to comply with its international
obligations in Singapore's direct (read: private) talks with
Tehran.
