1. (U) Sensitive but unclassified. Not for public Internet.
2. (SBU) On July 24, we raised reftel demarche asking Kazakhstan
to support our position on the accreditation to ECOSOC of two NGOs
with Zhanar Kulzhanova, the deputy director of the MFA's International
Organizations Directorate. Kulzhanova thanked us for forwarding
her ahead of time a non-paper on the issue. She told us that
Kazakhstan was still formulating its official position, but said
that the MFA "is open to U.S. views." She apologized for not giving
us a concrete response, but explained that the summer vacation season
"has depleted the MFA of decision-makers." (COMMENT: Since Kulzhanova
is departing on July 25 for Geneva to take over as Kazakhstan's head
of delegation at the ongoing ECOSOC meeting, we recommend that
USMISSION Geneva follow up with her there. END COMMENT.)
