1. (U) The Kyrgyz MFA sent EMBASSY a diplomatic note, dated
June 27, 2008, requesting that the Kyrgyz Republic be
considered eligible to participate in the Global Peacekeeping
Operations Initiative (GPOI). The Kyrgyz government had
earlier asked for information about GPOI, and on May 16 the
Ambassador wrote to then-Minister of Defense Isakov,
providing information about the program and explaining that
the Kyrgyz government would need to make an official request
to the State Department to be considered a GPOI-eligible
country.
2. (U) The Embassy's unofficial translation of the main text
of the Kyrgyz diplomatic note follows:
(Complimentary opening)
The Kyrgyz side, having reviewed the U.S. State Department
proposal relating to the participation of Kyrgyzstan in the
Global Peacekeeping Operations Initiative (GPOI) program,
requests to consider the possibility of including the Kyrgyz
Republic in the list of countries, which are accepted for
participation in this program.
In this event, the Ministry kindly requests that the
respected EMBASSY inform the Kyrgyz side of the results of
the consideration of the current application and provide
detailed information about the conditions of participating in
the GPOI program.
(Complimentary closing.)
3. (SBU) Separately, we still do not have a response from the
Kyrgyz government on the proposed end-use, retransfer, and
security assurances agreement ("505 Agreement"). We will
continue to push for a positive response to the U.S. proposal
(reftel),pointing out that having such an agreement in place
would be useful for GPOI, as well as certain other future
security-related grant assistance.
