WORLD MINISTERIAL SUMMIT TO REDUCE DEMAND FOR DRUGS AND TO

COMBAT THE COCAINE THREAT: 9-11 APRIL 1990

1. The Minister did not, in the event, have a chance to consider this submission as thoroughly as he would have liked before departing for Geneva. His preliminary reactions are as follows:

a) he agrees in general with the approach proposed;

b)

specifically, he agrees that we should invite Argentina (via the Swiss); and should not invite Panama;

c) he would like to consider further, on his return, the question of participation by South Africa, the PLO,

Democratic Kampuchea' and the other countries/governments listed in para 5. (In this connection, is South Africa a produce of precursor chemicals?);
