REF: STATE 62142
1. (U) Pol-Econ Chief and Gennadiy Spiglazov of the Russian Embassy
conveyed reftel points and agenda to Yerkin Akhinzhanov, head of the
MFA's European Cooperation Department, on May 17.
2. (SBU) Akhinzhanov said that Kazakhstan was working to put
together a diverse delegation for the OSCE conference. The MFA had
proposed that Committee for National Security (KNB) Chairman
Shabdarbayev head the delegation, but had not yet received a
response. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of
Industry and Trade will also participate.
3. (SBU) Pol-Econ Chief and Spiglazov urged Akhinzhanov to ensure
robust private sector participation in the delegation. He said that
the Ministry of Industry and Trade had been tasked with identifying
potential private sector participants, but conceded that the MFA
should give more thought to identifying a broader range of
non-governmental participants. He cautioned that it would be hard
to convince them to go as the GOK would not be able to finance their
travel.
