EXCHANGE OF AMBASSADORS WITH IRELAND | |
|
40. The Secretary of State for External Affairs reported that Ireland wished to exchange Ambassadors with Canada, and had asked if Canada would be willing to receive a representative having this designation. Other Commonwealth Governments had been consulted by Canada and the U.K. had expressed the hope that the Canadian Government would be able to defer decision on the matter until the whole question of designation of Commonwealth representatives had been discussed at the forthcoming Colombo Conference. It was difficult to refuse the Irish request, since Ireland was not a member of the Commonwealth and had only asked if Canada was willing to receive an Ambassador. It was accordingly proposed to inform them of the Canadian Government's concurrence. No change in the designation of the Canadian High Commissioner to Ireland would be made immediately. 41. The Cabinet, after discussion, agreed that the request of the Government of Ireland for the exchange of "Ambassadors" rather than "High Commissioners" be approved in principle; the timing and other details to be left to the discretion of the Secretary of State for External Affairs. | |
