1. (U) Pol Chief and Poloff delivered reftel demarches to Murat
Tashibayev, director of the MFA's Department of International
Organizations and Security Issues, on November 7.
2. (SBU) Tashibayev concurred that Kazakhstan and the U.S. would be
most likely to find common ground on the resolutions dealing with
Iran, Burma, and the DPRK. The annual Cuba resolution is always
tricky for Kazakhstan, he noted, due to the former USSR's ties with
Cuba. Tashibayev said that he would brief Deputy Foreign Minister
Abdrakhmanov on the U.S. position, but did not make any commitments
as to how his government would vote.
