2. (SBU) In response to the GPAF demarche request, Econoff delivered
reftel points and non-paper to Talgat Kaliyev, Head of the America's
Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). Kaliyev
expressed his support, agreeing that as a major global grain
producer and exporter, Kazakhstan could play a significant role. He
did, however, request further clarification regarding the possible
organizational structure, specifically by whose initiative the
organization would be created. Finally, Kaliyev said that for
Kazakhstan to consider membership in this and other organizations,
it would need to receive an official invitation. Kaliyev promised
to pass our non-paper to the MFA Director of Multilateral
Cooperation Barlybay Sadykov. He said he would report back to
Econoff any comments offered by Sadikov.
