UST-KAMENOGORSK GI EXERCISE
REF: STATE 89185
1. (U) This is an action request, please see paragraph 3.
2. (SBU) We delivered reftel points to Fairzarkhman Kasenov,
Advisor at the MFA's International Cooperation Department.
Kasenov gladly welcomed the USG proposal to pass the
invitation for the upcoming GI exercise via a joint demarche
and promised to get us Kazakhstan's proposed draft shortly.
He noted, however, that Kazakhstan is not represented in
twenty-three GI member-states, namely Bosnia, Cabo Verde,
Cambodia, Cote d' Ivore, Cyprus, Ireland, Iceland,
Madagascar, Macedonia, Malta, Morocco, Montenegro, Nepal, the
Netherlands, Norway, Palau, Panama, Portugal, Serbia,
Slovenia, the Seychelles Islands, Sweden, and Zambia. After
discussing several options, we agreed that the best way to
jointly reach these governments would be either through their
Washington embassies or via posts where Kazakhstan has
embassies accredited to several countries, such as London.
Kasenov also floated the idea of USG forwarding the
invitation via dipnote, but we stressed the need for
Kazakhstan to maintain the lead in encouraging attendance.
Kasenov said that while the MFA hopes for global attendance,
its priority is securing the participation of other Central
Asian states. (Note: To date, only the USG, Canada, and
South Korea have confirmed attendance. End note.)
3. (SBU) Post requests further guidance on coordinating the
joint demarches, especially in GI countries where there is no
Kazakhstani embassy.
