(C) On February 20, Post conveyed Ref A talking points to
Rudra Nepal, Under Secretary for UN and International
Organizations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, encouraging
the Government of Nepal (GON) to recognize Kosovo as an
independent state. (Note: The MFA was closed on February 19
for a local holiday. End note.) In a subsequent
conversation, the Under Secretary told the Political/Economic
Chief that the GON needed to discuss the issue further before
it could decide whether to recognize Kosovo's independence.
