Extract from minutes of the 361st meeting of the WEU Council held at ministerial level in Luxembourg on 6 and 7 February 1969 (London, 12 February 1969)
Text At the 361st meeting of the Council of Western European Union (WEU), held at ministerial level on 6 and 7 February 1969 in Luxembourg, the delegations debate on the situation in the Middle East. As tensions worsen in the region, the French State Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Jean de Lipkowski, outlines the French Government’s position on the crisis and notes that the Soviet plan for the settlement of the conflict contains several ambiguities. France wishes to promote a global solution for the region in cooperation with the UN Security Council. Robert Michael Maitland Stewart, British Foreign Secretary, shares France’s views.
