(C) We delivered reftel demarche to Judite Dobele, the Head of the
Latvian MFA's Asia, Africa and Oceania Division. Dobele said that
the GOL's policy on the EU arms embargo is tied to China's human
rights' record. The GOL has seen no improvement in China's record,
so it remains opposed to lifting the arms embargo.
