We talked about China, we welcome China's cooperation with
the international coalition in opposing Iraqi aggression and we hope
to see further economic and political reform there. We still have
serious concerns about human rights in China but we are in favour
of continuing to rebuild the contacts with China and also in favour
of the unconditional extension by the United States of Most Favoured
Nation Status to China,
We discussed Korea and the prospect there, which is a hopefu?
one, of admission of both Koreas, North and South, to the UN and the
resumption of a high level dialogue between the two countries. We
think it is very
important that North Korea should sign and
implement a nuclear safeguards agreement.
I have mentioned South Africa already, we are naturally
immensely concerned with the threat of famine in several countries
of Africa and there will be a reference to that in the economic
communique tomorrow.
I am circulating a note of these remarks, together with your
other documents, and you will see there a list of five or six other
subjects, international subjects, which we also discussed and on
which I will be glad to answer your questions, but since you will
be getting the text I do not think we
think we need run through those in
detail now,
I believe the two documents which have been agreed this
morning are substantial documents, they flow from a review of the
international scene and they concentrate, as I have said, on trying
to find multilateral, trying to find international approaches and
solutions to the main problems which we have singled out.
