Foreign Ministry Secretary General Michele Valensise has received Ambassador Andrian Yelemessov at the request of the Embassy of Kazakhstan. <\/P>
\n
Secretary General Valensise reiterated to Ambassador Yelemessov the Foreign Ministry\u2019s surprise and disappointment over his unorthodox handling of the case of Mrs. Alma Shalabayeva with the Italian authorities. The Secretary General was following the line taken by Foreign Minister Emma Bonino with the Kazakhstani Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires, who was summoned on 17 July. Ambassador Valensise was particularly critical of the Kazakhstani diplomatic representatives\u2019 failure to involve the Farnesina at any time.<\/P>
\n
The Secretary General reiterated to Ambassador Yelemessov the Italian government\u2019s request for the Kazakhstani authorities to ensure that the rights of Alma Shalabayeva and her daughter Alua are safeguarded in full. He underscored that Italy keenly expects Kazakhstan to restore the two women\u2019s full freedom of movement at the earliest possible date. This acknowledges both Mrs. Shalabayeva\u2019s own wishes \u2013 as confirmed by her in her meetings with Italian Embassy officials in Astana \u2013 and in the petitions filed by her lawyers. <\/P>
\n
Ambassador Yelemessov assured the Secretary General that he is ready to encourage Kazakhstan to meet Italy\u2019s expectations and requests, in the knowledge that this course of action would make a positive contribution to the quality of relations between the two countries. <\/A><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Foreign Ministry Secretary General Michele Valensise has received Ambassador Andrian Yelemessov at the request of the Embassy of Kazakhstan.
