1. (U) Sensitive but unclassified. Not for public Internet.
2. (SBU) At close of business on February 22, Deputy Foreign
Minister Kairat Umarov called the Ambassador to propose two
possible dates for the OSCE Informal Ministerial in Almaty
(vice Astana, as reported ref): June 19-20 or July 10-11.
3. (SBU) Following on Foreign Minister Kanat Saudabayev's
personal invitation on February 4 in Washington to Secretary
Clinton to participate in the ministerial, Umarov emphasized
that Kazakhstan wants to offer maximum flexibility to
accommodate the Secretary's schedule and would willingly
consider other dates that she might propose. While
Kazakhstan will maintain maximum flexibility, Umarov
commented that Saudabayev's summer summit, high-level
meeting, and travel schedule is already becoming "congested."
For that reason, Astana hopes for an early decision on the
dates for the Informal Ministerial.
4. (U) Please advise.
