Wilson urges negotiated settlement in Viet Nam crisis
British Prime Minister Harold Wilson opened the SEATO ministerial meeting with calls for an honorably negotiated settlement to the South Viet Nam war and the Indonesian-Malaysian dispute. He stressed Southeast Asia should chart its own path to peace and noted Britain’s strong military presence, while signaling willingness to withdraw if Malaysia and Asian SEATO members no longer needed aid. The U.S. delegation led by George Ball pressed for continued allied assistance to thwart a Communist takeover in the South, defending air strikes against North Viet Nam as a response to infiltration. France, via an observer, dissociated from decisions but wished for a future negotiated settlement. British Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart voiced regret.
