1. (SBU) Pol/Econ Chief delivered ref demarche to MFA Director
of the International Organizations Department, Mehdi al-Mjribi,
on February 10. Mjribi reiterated Libya's support of nuclear
non-proliferation initiatives and said that all nations should
commit to the principles expressed within the Nuclear Non
Proliferation Treaty. The GOL is in favor of a diplomatic
resolution to the situation with Iran and does not believe that
sanctions will achieve a positive outcome. The GOL believes
that sanctions negatively affect a nation's citizens more than
its government and that diplomatic pressure on Iran should
continue to be addressed within the context of the P5+1 group.
Mjribi emphasized that the GOL and Libyan leader Muammar
al-Qadhafi recognize the value of nuclear technology for
peaceful purposes and believe that it is the right of each
nation to pursue peaceful nuclear programs.
