Trade talks postponed
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 14. New Zealand and Australia had agreed to postpone planned Ministerial talks on the New Zealand-Australia Free Trade Agreement, the Deputy Prime Minister (Mr Taiboys) said today. The talks had been proposed when the Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) met his Australian counterpart (Mr Fraser) at Rotorua last month, and this had been followed up by a meeting of officials in Canberra late in March. But both countries wanted the talks to be substantive, leading to major decisions on widening the scope of N.A.F.T.A., and the timing of the Ministerial meeting would not have given the Ministers enough time to consider the results of the officials’ meeting.
