SUBJECT: PARAGUAY: RESPONSE TO DEMARCHE ON U.S. 60-DAY
REPORT ON UNSCR 1747 (IRAN SANCTIONS)

REF: STATE 73219

PolOff delivered message to Terumi Matsuo, the MFA's Director
for International Organizations, June 11. Matsuo told PolOff
that he would pass the message forward to her superiors and
to Paraguay's UN Mission. In the past, Paraguay has signaled
it shares our concerns about Iran's non-compliance with its
international obligations. It has rebuffed a series of
Iranian overtures to develop commercial relations. Post will
report any further substantive response septel.
