FCO TELNO GUIDANCE 29 WORLD MINISTERIAL SUMMIT TO REDUCE DEMAND

FOR DRUGS AND TO COMBAT THE COCAINE THREAT

1.

The above conference, originally announced by the Home

Secretary on 18 May, will be held on 9-11 April 1990 at the

QE II Conference Centre, London. It will be opened by the Prime

Minister. President Barco of Colombia and the UN

Secretary-General have agreed to speak at the opening ceremony.

2. The conference is being held in association with the United

Nations. It will comprise plenary sessions and two expert groups (which would meet simultaneously) one covering demand reduction and the other the cocaine threat. The plenary will be

reserved mainly for national statements although, to save time,

we are proposing to invite participating states to circulate detailed statements in writing. It is proposed that invitations

be issued by the Home Secretary in November. To help ensure the

successful management of the Conference, we hope that delegations will be limited wherever possible to one Minister

and two Officials.

3. The objectives of the conference are:

(a) to maintain the momentum of international co-operation

on drugs developed at the International Conference on Drug

Abuse
