YOUR TELNO 332: TRAINING OF ZAMBIAN POLICE

*

PA0627/

1. IN PRINCIPLE PHIRT WOULD PREFER INSTRUCTORS TO VISIT ZAMBIA RATHER

THAN ZAMBIAN INSTRUCTORS GOING ABROAD, WHAT PHIRI'S ATTITUDE WILL BE- TO THE INSTRUCTORS COMING FROM HONG KONG IS VERY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE," BUT IF HE CAN BE ASSURED THAT THIS WILL FULFILL HIS REQUIREMENT I IMAGINE HE WILL AGREE. ON TIMING, PHIRI HAS RECENTLY INTIMATED THAT IF THE TRAINING WERE TO BE GIVEN, IT WOULD NOT BE UNREASONABLE FOR US TO OFFER IT NEXT YEAR RATHER THAN THIS.

2. PHIRI WISHES THE FORCE TO BECOME A CRACK UNĪT?'. I BELIEVE HE ENVISAGES TRAINING ON TWO LEVELS# NAMELY THE ELITE OF THE FORCE IN SPECIALIST TASKS AND LESS SPECIALIST TRAINING FOR THE REST OF THE WING, IF YOU WISH, PHIRI CAN BE ASKED TO PROVIDE A PRECISE - REQUIREMENT (BUT NOT UNTIL NEXT WEEK WHEN HE RETURNS FROM DAR ES SALAAM). I BELIEVE WE SHOULD NOW PUT THE HONG KONG OFFER TO PHIRT. WOULD YOU WISH TO CONSIDER HIS RESPONSE ON REQUIREMENT PRIOR TO OUR DOING SO?
