Regarding the Exchange of Notes on the Conditions of the Experts’ Work
[To the] Embassy [of the People's Republic of China] in Mali:
The cable dated 28 April was received.
So as to ensure that the agricultural experts [which] we [will be] sending [to] Mali receive the same remuneration and conditions, the [previously] sent notes of exchange [regarding the] agricultural experts [going] to Mali will be subject to revisions. Please temporarily forgo negotiations with the other party. Wait until the negotiation of industrial projects and expert work groups going to Mali is again moving forward.
