. . . 11. The Secretary of State for External Affairs said it was important that Canada be adequately represented in the Council of the Colombo Plan. For this reason it was most desirable that, when changes in postings were considered, the representative of Trade and Commerce in Ceylon should be a person who might perform that task and, possibly be designated as Acting High Commissioner. Indonesia was rich in natural resources and trade possibilities might become important. Consideration should be given to establishing Canadian representation there. If this were approved in principle a specific recommendation would be submitted at a later date. 12. The Minister of Trade and Commerce agreed with the remarks concerning Canadian representation in Ceylon. Possibilities of trade with Indonesia could not be ignored and the question of representation there would have to be examined. 13. The Minister of Finance said there was provision in the Estimates for representation in Indonesia if it were decided on. 14. The Cabinet noted with approval the remarks of the Secretary of State for External Affairs concerning Canadian representation in Ceylon and agreed that it would be desirable to have some form of representation in Indonesia; consideration to be given at a later date to a specific proposal.18 . . .
