3. I agree that there may well be other places around the
world, not just Tokyo and Taipei, where similar joint funding might be attractive. CRD frequently encourage Posts to consider
this, particularly in countries like Japan and Taiwan which can
afford their own contributions. We will pursue with CRD.
Taiwan

Your minute prompted me to look at FCO SAS in respect of
Taiwan, as I confess I had not realised that such a scheme
existed prior to the installation of FCO and DTI officers in ATTC
last Spring. CRD confirm that since about 1989 Taiwan has had an
annual allocation, which has allowed about four Taiwanese
students to come to Britain each year. Selection procedures at
the Taipei end have been handled by ATEC who have then passed
over management at the UK end to the British Council via the ATEC
Committee Chairman Mr Warner. Now that we have an FCO official
in Taipei he ought to get involved in the selection procedure (as
would be the case in a normal Embassy). We will follow that up
with CRD and Philip Morrice.
