US embassy cable - 05NEWDELHI6411

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) Following up reftel regarding India's concern about 
Pakistani arms shipments to Nepal, MEA's Nepal desk contacted 
us on August 18 to report that the GOI has uncovered Letters 
of Credit documenting at least two potential ammunition 
sales.  The first LC is drawn in favor of the Pakistan 
Ordinance Factory for $1.12 million of ammunition rounds. 
The second is drawn in favor of M/S Poly Technologies of 
Beijing for $0.8 million in NATO ammunition and hand 
grenades.  Dated July 19, the letters come from the Nepal 
Rastra Bank on behalf of the RNA Master General of Ordinance. 
 We have faxed both letters to SA/INS for follow-up as 
appropriate.
