It doesn't really matter what you do or what the regs say.
You will be wrong, the locals will be right and the desired result from the company will be the most ludicrous you can imagine.
I had a situation inbound to north america with a chinese carrier where the chinese crew wanted to divert into PANC as we were looking like landing at destination with less than reclearance fuel. cavok, planned touchdown with 2.5 hours of gas. But they wanted to land enroute.
freaks!!!!!!!
