US embassy cable - 05SANTODOMINGO5113

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.

 1. (C) Embassy on November 8 delivered Ref A para 5 talking 
points on U.S. voting priorities in the UN Third Committee to 
MFA UN affairs director Michelle Cohen as a non-paper, and 
emphasized in conversation with her that approval of the Iran 
resolution was our top priority and that the Dominican 
Republic should join us in opposing no-action motions.  Cohen 
said she would communicate our views to the senior levels of 
the MFA.  On November 16, Ambassador delivered a separate 
demarche on the Iran resolution to Foreign Minister Carlos 
Morales Troncoso, who replied that the Dominican Republic 
would vote in favor of that resolution (as already reported 
Ref B).
