the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirming that the government of
Kazakhstan does not object to the United States designating Embassy
Branch Office Almaty as Consulate General Almaty. Post seeks
Department approval to announce this change in public and to begin
referring to "Consulate General Almaty" in all official work and
communication. We will assume approval by close of business on
Friday, November 6, unless we hear otherwise. An unofficial
translation of incoming diplomatic note follows.
