Background: A SIX-DAY CONFERENCE CALLED PROGRESS THROUGH COOPERATION IS BEING HELD IN KAMPALA, UGANDA. DELEGATES FROM 30 COUNTRIES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE TAKING PART. THE MAIN THEME OF THE CONFERENCE IS TO SEEK PRACTICAL WAYS IN WHICH AFRICAN NATIONS CAN OBTAIN MORE EFFECTIVE RESULTS FROM THEIR OWN RESOURCES AS WELL AS FROM TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC AID.

AMONG THOSE ATTENDING ARE MR TAIEB SLIM, TUNISIAN AMBASSADOR AT THE U.N.; MR PAUL HOFFMAN, THE AMERICAN MANAGING DIRECTOR OF THE U.N. SPECIAL FUND; DR ABDEL-RAZZAK SIDKY, EGYPTIAN ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-GENERAL FOR NEAR EAST AFFAIRS OF THE U.N. FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANISATION; M PAUL-MARC HENRY, FRENCH ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF OPERATIONS OF THE U.N. SPECIAL FUND; MR MAMOUDOU TOURE, MAURITANIAN CHIEF OF THE EUROPEAN OFFICE OF THE U.N. INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S EMERGENCY FUND; M. BAKOLE, VICE-RECTOR OF LOVANIUM UNIVERSITY IN THE CONGO; MR A.Z.N. SWAI, TANZANIAN MINISTER OF STATE FOR DEVELOPMENT; MR APOLLO KIRONE, UGANDAN AMBASSADOR AT THE U.N.; MR SENTEZA KAJUBI, DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION OF UGANDA; MR FRANCOIS A. N'LIBA-N'GUIMBOUS, DEPUTY EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF THE U.N. ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR AFRICA; SIR ANDREW COHEN, PERMANENT SECRETARY AT THE BRITISH MINISTRY OF OVERSEAS DEVELOPMENT, FORMERLY COLONIAL GOVERNOR OF UGANDA; AND MR TOM MBOYA, KENYAN MINISTER OF ECONOMIC PLANNING.

THE OPENING SESSION YESTERDAY (MONDAY), AT MAKERERE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, WAS ADDRESSED BY DR. MILTON OBOTE, THE UGANDAN PRIME MINISTER, BY MR Y. LULE, THE PRINCIPAL OF THE UNIVERSITY WHO IS CO-CHAIRMAN OF THE CONFERENCE, AND BY MR HOFFMAN, THE GENERAL CHAIRMAN OF THE CONFERENCE. THE CONFERENCE IS SPONSORED BY A PRIVATE ORGANISATION, THE COUNCIL OF WORLD TENSIONS.

IN HIS SPEECH, DR. OBOTE SAID MOST AFRICAN STATES WERE WALKING ON A TIGHTROPE BECAUSE OF THE MISTAKEN APPROACH TO THEM BY BOTH EAST AND WEST IN OFFERING AID. THE INTEREST AND DESIRE OF DEVELOPED COUNTRIES TO ASSIST AFRICAN NATIONS WAS SIGNIFICANT AND WELCOME. BUT IT WAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY A SERIOUS SOURCE OF INSTABILITY IN AND BETWEEN AFRICAN NATIONS, HE SAID.
