¶1. (C) On June 27 we delivered reftel non-paper regarding
the June 30 - July 1 initial meeting on Earth and space
science between NASA and the China National Space
Administration (CNSA) to Georgiy Barsegov, Space Affairs
Officer, Department of Security Affairs and Disarmament, MFA.
Barsegov said he was very pleased that we had notified the
GOR prior to the meeting. He asked several questions
regarding the nature of the meeting and to clarify the
proposed discussions. Barsegov took particular note of the
paper on the Chinese ASAT test that the U.S. would provide to
Chinese counterparts. Barsegov stated that he hoped the USG
would continue to keep the GOR informed of the outcomes of
any future NASA - CNSA meetings.
¶2. (C) Moscow NASA representative also delivered the reftel
non-paper to Alexander Medvedchikov, Deputy Head of
Roscosmos. Medvedchikov noted that China is too big and too
important to ignore. He thanked us for the non-paper and
said that Roscosmos appreciated being informed in advance of
NASA's discussions with the CNSA.
