New body to look at terrorism
NZPA Sydney The Commonwealth heads of Government regional meeting is to establish a special committee to enlarge collaboration on a regional and international scale to combat terrorism.
A communique drawn up by the leaders of 12 countries which attended the four-day conference said that greater international cooperation was essential to “combat this menace”. The 12 leaders issued a 15-page, 45-point communique on the conference which began on Monday and finished with a brief working session yesterday. All leaders are to stage the same conference again in Delhi in 1980. Australia has been given the task of co-ordinating a consultative group on trade, India will take care of a group on energy, and Malaysia has been assigned to” chair a committee on illicit drugs. Among other points in the communique they asked the world to give more attention to Pacific Islands’ problems, called for a conference among the important maritime users of the Indian Ocean, and emphasised the need for sustained economic recovery, a halt to inflation, and price stability.
