POSTS TO BE FILLED SOON
fN Z. Press Association > WELLINGTON, Jan. 10. An announcement on the appointment of a High Commissioner to London and a number of other diplomatic posts might be made within a fortnight, the Prime Minister (Mr Kirk) said today. The Appointments Committee will meet this week, I and Mr Kirk hopes a recommendation will be sent to the Cabinet within a fortnight.
The London appointment was under consideration, Mr Kirk said, and vacancies at Rome and Dlakarta also had to be filled.
Asked about an appointment to Peking, Mr Kirk said New Zealand would not move quickly on this. An appointment to Moscow was likely to be made first, because the opening of new posts would follow the development of trading patterns.
