Extract from minutes of the 281st meeting of the WEU Council held at ministerial level on 4 November 1965 in The Hague (4 March 1966)
Texte At the 281st meeting of the Council of Western European Union (WEU), held at ministerial level on 4 November 1965 in The Hague, the delegations discuss the situation in the Middle East. As rivalries continue to plague the Arab world, British Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart states that a complete disengagement of the UK from the region could lead to a serious period of troubles. The French State Secretary for Foreign Affairs Michel Habib-Deloncle notes that the Arab states are moving towards a closer perception of reality. He advocates a resumption of dialogue between the countries of Europe and those of the Middle East and North Africa.
