PROPER FORUM FOR FUTURE ACTION. AT THIS POINT, I INTERJECTED THAT WALDHEIN'S MESSAGE TO THE 52 HEADS OF GOVERNMENT HAD BEEN A
DIRECT RESULT OF HIS RECENT VISIT TO SOUTH-EAST ASIA AND THAT,
FOR THE TIME BEING AT LEAST, THE UN SEEMED TO BE THE BEST FORUM
FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. MOREOVER, WE SHOULD NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE
WIDER ASPECTS WHICH MIGHT AFFECT THE STABILITY OF THE REGION.
4. BIRABHONGSE ONCE MORE EXPRESSED HIS GRATITUDE FOR OUR ACTIONS
AND PROMISED TO REPORT MY REPRESENTATIONS TO HIS MINISTERS AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE.
5. DURING OUR DISCUSSION, BIRABHUNGSE REFERRED WITH SOME HEAT
TO THE RECENT ITV FILMS ABOUT REFUGEES COMING INTO THAILAND
AND SAID THAT HE WAS GLAD THAT THIS HUMAN TRAGEDY WAS NOW BEING
PUT IN A PROPER PERSPECTIVE. THIS GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO
REFER TO THE NATURAL CONCERN OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE AT THE GENERAL
MISERY BEING CAUSED.
6. FINALLY BIRABHONGSE REFERRED TO THE 1-DAY VISIT HERE TODAY
BY THE VIETNAMESE MINISTER OF STATE IN CHARGE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS (NGUYEN CO THACH). HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT LINE THE THAI GOVERNMENT WOULD BE TAKING OVER THE VISIT, BUT WE AGREED TO KEEP IN TOUCH.
7. MODUK PSE PASS DI4.
