Northern (N): Yugoslavia (NU). Political Relations: Commonwealth Countries

1963

A file of correspondence concerning Yugoslav relations with British Commonwealth countries in Africa. The correspondence covers a visit to Yugoslavia by delegations from the Kenyan National Union (K.A.N.U.) and the Basutoland Congress Party; and the British reaction to Yugoslav press reports on British policy in Kenya. The articles claimed that Britain has used "terrorist police methods" and "diplomatic and political manoeuvres" to postpone Kenya's independence. British officials, in talks with their Yugoslav counterparts, argued that such articles do nothing to improve Anglo-Yugoslav relations, or to further Yugoslav efforts to improve trade and encourage the participation of British industry in the country's economic development.
