US embassy cable - 05ALMATY4095

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. On November 16, Econoff delivered Reftel demarche and 
talking points on the United States' candidacy for Category 
A membership in the International Maritime organization 
(IMO) to Baurzhan Sarsenbekov of the International Relations 
Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 
 
2. Sarsenbekov told Econoff that the GOK was still preparing 
its instructions to its delegation on whom to support in the 
IMO membership elections, but that a positive decision on 
supporting the United States' candidacy is practically 
assured.  The Embassy sees no reason to doubt that 
Kazakhstan will support the U.S. candidacy.
