SUBJECT: Uzbekistan: GOU Proposals for ABC Follow-on 
 
CLASSIFIED BY: Nicholas Berliner, Pol-Econ Chief; REASON: 1.4(A), 
(B), (D) 
 
1. (C) Summary: The Uzbek MFA provided the Embassy with the GOU's 
proposed follow-on to the Annual Bilateral Consultations (ABC) on 
January 12. Although there are several differences in their 
document (particularly in the Human Dimension), it represents a 
serious response conveyed with the message that, at the highest 
levels, Tashkent wants to take this process forward. Despite having 
deleted several U.S. proposals on human rights issues, the MFA 
pointed out that such issues could nevertheless be discussed, as 
they had been in Washington in December. Most importantly, there is 
a clearly communicated expectation that the ABC process should soon 
begin to produce tangible results, both in the form of follow 
through to the GOU's request for "military-technical cooperation" 
and in the form of a high-level visit. The Uzbek leadership is 
likely amenable to expanded cooperation on Afghanistan, including 
measures to support the "plus up" in forces, but is seeking 
confirmation that the relationship with the U.S. has moved beyond 
sanctions.  End Summary. 
 
 
 
2. (C) The Uzbek Foreign Ministry convoked DCM and Pol-Econ Chief 
on January 12 to share the text of the GOU's formal response to our 
proposed ABC follow-on agenda. Americas Division Chief Bakhtiyor 
Ibragimov made a point of noting that the agenda had been approved 
by President Karimov himself (a point also noted in the diplomatic 
note conveying the text). He said that the GOU was very happy with 
the December 17-18 talks in Washington and is eager to move forward 
across the full range of the agenda. Ibragimov emphasized that 
Karimov has taken a personal interest in this process and that 
tangible results will be needed to move from dialogue to action. He 
noted that there are still skeptics in the Uzbek bureaucracy who 
will only be convinced by deeds. 
 
 
 
3. (C) In spelling out what the GOU would take as evidence of U.S. 
sincerity, Ibragimov noted that a visit by Secretary Clinton to 
Tashkent would be taken as a very constructive gesture that could 
go a long way towards opening up greater cooperation across a range 
of issues. (Note: This request is the first item in the document 
the GOU produced - attached at Para 6. There is also a mention of a 
visit by SRAP Holbrooke to Tashkent, which the GOU appears to 
expect. End Note.) He also noted the pending request for 
"military-technical cooperation" and the need to follow through 
with the visit of the Special Working Group (SWG) to Tashkent in 
the first quarter of this year to assess the needs and capabilities 
of Uzbekistan's armed forces.  The GOU expects a serious dialogue 
on this issue and a professional team that can go back with 
specific recommendations, rather than a promise to "explore the 
issue further." 
 
 
 
4. (C) Overall, the document the GOU produced represents a serious 
response to our proposals with few surprises. Apart from the 
predictable inclusion of references to Karimov's "6 plus 3" 
proposal for Afghanistan, the most significant GOU changes come in 
the Human Dimension, where the Uzbeks removed references to 
religious freedom, child labor and reviewing human rights cases. 
Ibragimov said that, while the MFA understood that these questions 
would be discussed, as they were in Washington, it was impossible 
to agree to their inclusion in a document. (Note: This has been a 
consistent position on the part of the GOU, reflecting President 
Karimov's neuralgia at any hint of criticism or "grading" of 
Uzbekistan. The MFA knows they will not avoid discussions of these 
issues, but cannot openly contradict Karimov. The fact that FM 
Norov sent a thank you letter to A/S Posner is an indication of 
openness to discuss human rights and of the fact that, despite 
eliminating these references from the initial ABC agenda, Norov did 
not feel "ambushed" by the fact that such a discussion took place 
in Washington. End Note.) 
 
 
 
5. (C) Comment:  Our engagement with Uzbekistan is very quickly 
 
TASHKENT 00000019  002 OF 005 
 
 
reaching the point where we will have to make some hard decisions. 
There is a critical need to maintain momentum. We expect that 
further enhancements to NDN, such as approval to ship armored M-ATV 
vehicles and refrigerated cargo will be approved without further 
"signals." However, to sustain this level of cooperation, even as 
we consider other options to support the Afghanistan "plus up," we 
will need to be able to respond tangibly to the Uzbeks' request on 
"military-technical cooperation" and be prepared for the type of 
high-level engagement they are seeking. We do not believe that 
closer cooperation on Afghanistan must come at the price of 
lessening the emphasis we place on human rights. In fact, 
independent of this, experience on the ground has shown that the 
only way to move forward with the Uzbeks is through principled 
engagement. Closer cooperation could produce "forcing events" for 
progress on human rights and lessen GOU suspicion of U.S. motives, 
thus allowing the regime to loosen its vise on civil society.

development of bilateral relations in political, security,
