In its issues of June and July 1965, the International Review gave some account of Mr. Samuel Gonard's journey. Having left Geneva at the beginning of May, the ICRC President successively visited Pakistan, India, Thailand, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, then Mexico. The last stage of his journey was spent in the United States, where he stayed one week in July and was joined by Mr. Pierre Basset, head of administration and finance of the ICRC in Geneva.
