2 A statement issued in Paris on April 20 stated that the debates at the forthcoming SEATO Council meeting in London would principally deal with the countries of former Indochina, and particularly with Vietnam. The Manila conference had underlined the existing fundamental differences on this problem, and it was likely that the same situation would arise at the London session. Under these conditions, the statement said, the French government considered it wiser not to take part in the meetings and wished thereby to underline that could in no way whatever associate itself with any conclusions reached. France, the statement continued, wished for a peaceful, that is, a negotiated, settlement of the problems of Vietnam and of the former Indochina as a whole, on the basis of the 1954 Geneva Agreements. When such a settlement became possible, it would gladly give its support, but in the meantime France could only reaffirm its views which it had held for years.
