(C) On June 12, Econoff delivered reftel demarche to Joe Ballard,
Policy Officer, International Security and Disarmament Division of
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). In
reaction to the delivered talking points, Mr. Ballard said that
GNZ's position was similar to U.S. and agreed that a strong
national statement would be delivered by New Zealand demanding that
Iran and Syria comply with their international obligations. Mr.
Ballard said that GNZ as a member of the Board of Governors of the
IAEA takes compliance quite seriously. Mr. Ballard said his
Mission would also stress in their statement, at the upcoming June
15-19 IAEA meeting, that Iran should take every opportunity to work
more closely with the EU 3 + 3 process.
