It Would Be Best if the Delegation Attending the Asian-African Conference has a Muslim Member
To the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
After research, we believe it would be better to include one Muslim member in the delegation attending the Asian-African conference. This is because there are many Muslim countries attending this conference; in addition, Indonesia itself is a country with a lot of Muslim sects and parties. Please consider whether or not this is appropriate.
Huang Zhen
23 March [1955]
Huang Zhang suggests having at least one Muslim in the members of Chinese delegation to the Asian-African Conference due to that many participating countries are Islamic countries.
