Dear Commissioner,
I wish to take this opportunity to also extend best wishes to
you for the New Year. I do acknowledge the importance of
this year's IWC Meeting with regards to aboriginal whalers.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is prepared to continue the
cooperation with all aboriginal subsistence whaling
countries. We welcomed the circus in St. Kitts and Nevis and
considered it very productive. In view of the review of
quotas scheduled for the Alaska meeting our mutual
cooperation is highly desirable and SVG will play its part.
We will advise further on our participation at the February
27th Meeting, as we do recognize its importance.
I look forward to working with you and to our further
communication.
Respectfully
Edwin Snagg (Mr.)
IWC Commissioner
St. Vincent and the Grenadines
End Text.
2. The Diplomatic Note and letter will be faxed to WHA/CAR.
3. Please note that the U.S. IWCCommissioner's name is Dr.
