REF: STATE 66895
1. The Kazakhstani government has no policy to support the Arab
League Boycott (ALB),and there are no laws requiring compliance
with ALB or any other international boycott. Kazakhstan
maintains full diplomatic relations with Israel, and instructed
the Kazakhstani Embassy in Saudi Arabia not to attend the recent
meeting held there regarding the boycott of Israel. GOK
officials speak proudly of the "normal full diplomatic"
relations and substantial economic ties Kazakhstan enjoys with
Israel.
2. The Kazakhstani government maintains no Arab League Boycott
office, nor is Post aware of any official pressure on U.S. firms
to participate in the ALB or any other international boycott.
No suppliers, vendors, or service suppliers with whom Post
typically does business in Kazakhstan are known to comply with
the ALB or any other international boycott. According to the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there have been no instances of
attempted boycott enforcement by government agencies or
compliance requests by private entities.
