REF: (A) STATE 180512, (B) WELLINGTON 834

(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.
