E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PARM, PREL, IAEA, EUN, FI SUBJECT: FINNISH RESPONSE: IAEA GENERAL CONFERENCE/MIDDLE EAST: URGING SUPPORT FOR CONSENSUS PACKAGE ON MIDDLE EAST RESOLUTION
REF: SECSTATE 119672
(SBU) PolChief delivered subject demarche to Tarja Pesamaa, A/Director of the Finnish MFA's Unit for Arms Control, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Sept. 6. Noting that Finland supported a "no action" outcome when this issue came up during last year's IAEA GC, Pesamaa said that Finland's goal was to avoid having "purely political" issues (such as an Israel-specific agenda item) derail or distract from the GC's substantive business, and that the GOF could be counted on to work with serious partners to support any reasonable resolution to achieve that goal.
