KAZAKHSTAN: CHINA PRAISES ASTANA'S FOREIGN POLICY, WORRIES ABOUT RUSSIA.

Richard E. Hoagland's cable about China's Ambassador to Kazakhstan.

"In his farewell courtesy call with the Ambassador on January 22, China's Ambassador to Kazakhstan Cheng Guoping (please protect) highly praised Kazakhstan's skillful balancing of the "great powers." Repeatedly emphasizing the personal nature of the conversation, Cheng highlighted his view that China and Russia must "coexist" in Central Asia. He expressed a positive view of the U.S. role in the region, but cautioned against a permanent military presence. Cheng recommended that the United States urge Uzbekistan to invite NATO "as a guest" to attend the June summit in Tashkent of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in order to increase NATO-SCO cooperation. Cheng departs Astana February 2 to return to Beijing to become Deputy Foreign Minister for Eurasia (the CIS). We suspect Embassy Beijing will find him to be an interesting but reserved interlocutor."

Hoagland's diplomatic cables from Kazakhstan are good reads.

I'm getting the feelz he runs with the cabal.
