Australian Colombo Plan activity in full swing
Tiwan hoped the flow of goods equipment and expertise would continue within Australia’s capacity to help. Mr Casey said Australia was contributing a fair share toward raising living standards in South and South East Asia. New requests were being received and examined. Much aid was in capital equipment but Australia has trained over 750 Asians in four years and sent about 100 Australian specialists. Equipment shipments were on the water or about to be sent, Asian students arrived for courses, fifteen Burmese coal miners arrived to study mining in NSW, Indonesians were to study in Australian universities next year, TB surveys were under way in Singapore, and nine diesel locomotives were to be shipped to Pakistan next month.
