Attempt to isolate arms issue at Commonwealth meeting
Singapore on Wednesday saw an eleventh hour effort to isolate the South African arms issue to keep it from dominating the Commonwealth heads of government conference. Delegates will set the agenda at the opening session and a separate item on arms sales may lessen Britain’s focus on internal matters. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew is expected to steer the chair to curb broad attacks on Britain. If kept off the top, arms concerns may not dominate the debate, which is likely to begin with a discussion of the world political situation and trends.
