SUBJECT: NEW ZEALAND: DEMARCHE ON UNSCR 1718 DELIVERED
REF: (A) STATE 180512, (B) WELLINGTON 834
Classified By: DCM David J. Keegan for Reasons: 1.4 (B) and (D)
(C) In response to ref (A), demarche was delivered to Carolyn
Schwalger, Senior Advisor for North Asia at the New Zealand Ministry
of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) on November 1, 2006. Per
Schwalger, GNZ has regulations in place to be able to enforce UNSCR
1718. Both the interagency and judicial divisions are working well
together to implement, see ref (B). MFAT will share contents of the
demarche with relevant divisions throughout the New Zealand
government. Also per MFAT, NZ businesses have no known connection to
KOMID but will check to ensure there is not secondary entities or
intermediaries dealing with them.
