TAGS: PGOV PK PREL KNNP EFIN PARM IR
SUBJECT: PAKISTAN STAYS COMMITTED TO UNSCRS 1737, 1747, 1803

REF: STATE 76596

On July 17, Poloff delivered reftel points to Kamran Akhtar,
Director of Disarmament for the MFA, and requested that
Pakistan freeze the assets of the additional Iranian entities
and individuals included under E.O. 13382. Akhtar assured
Poloff that Pakistan diligently followed the rules as
outlined in UNSCRs 1737, 1747, and 1803, and if these new
entities were now listed under these guidelines, they would
also freeze the assets for those additions as well. However,
Akhtar noted that Pakistan would not freeze the assets of the
newly listed entities without notification from the Pakistan
UN delegation but would do so once informed officially by
this body. Akhtar provided Poloff with a copy of the April
2008 Statutory Notification 339(I)/2008, which outlined which
Iranian individuals and entities Pakistan currently froze -
including only three of the newly listed under E.O. 13382.
