Central (C): Yugoslavia (CY). Reopening of Yugoslav Consulate in Singapore and Other Diplomatic Appointments

A file of correspondence and reports on diplomatic matters affecting Yugoslavia. The correspondence covers Yugoslav requests to reopen their consulate-general in Singapore; and the position of the British authorities, who are legally obliged to allow Yugoslavia to open missions in their territories under the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation of 1927, but fear political repercussions in Malaya and Singapore, whose leaders are opposed to the consulate's establishment. Further documents include correspondence covering the decision to discuss the issue with the Singaporean government; and briefs on the situation for the Lord Privy Seal, Edward Heath, and the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations, Duncan Sandys. The file also covers the appointment of Yugoslav diplomats to India, Canada, and Pakistan; the appointment of a new head of the Anglo-American Department of the Yugoslav Foreign Secretariat; and a copy of the Singapore (Constitution) Order in Council, 1958.
