New talks sought
PA Wellington The Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) said yesterday that he hoped to hold further talks on the fish-trade talks with Japan within the next few days. Mr Muldoon was speaking after the Cabinet Economic Committee had met to discuss the delay in signing the agreement. He said officials would be in touch with the Japanese Ambassador (Mr Umeo Kagei) and hoped to
arrange a meeting within the next day or two. Progress on rhe agree ment faltered last week when Mr Muldoon asked that an explanatory memorandum, linking trade access to Japan with fishing-zone access, be added. The move was rejected by the Japanese Government in a message relayed to the New Zealand Government through Mr Kagei on Monday.
