MEMORANDUM FOR MR. RITCHIE | |||
|
As was anticipated, when the Spanish Consul-General, Dr. G.
Baraibar, paid a courtesy call this morning, he referred to the
desirability of the establishment of direct diplomatic relations
between Ottawa and Madrid. In addition to making the usual argument
about the opportunities which would be afforded for the development
of closer relations between Canada and Spain by the establishment
of direct channels of communication between the two governments,
Dr. Baraibar went on to point out that Canada was the only North
Atlantic Treaty country that did not have a diplomatic mission in
the Spanish capital.
2. You will recall that toward the end of last year, the Spanish raised with us on three occasions the question of an exchange of diplomatic missions. General Vanier was authorized to inform the Spanish Ambassador in Paris that the question was being studied and that a considered reply would be forthcoming in due course. The subject was again raised in a memorandum to the Minister dated April 4th, which was initialled by Mr. Heeney but which would not appear to have reached Mr. Pearson. This memorandum is flagged on the attached file.? 3. I should be glad if you would let me know what further action, if any, you consider might be taken on this subject at this time.20 R.E. C[OLLINS]
