  • Story Text: Representatives of 19 developing and oil producing countries met in Paris on Monday (9 February), for a last minute discussion of tactics before the big International Economic Conference in Paris two days ahead.

    The Third World nations hoped to settle their differences before they confront the industrialised nations in talks on energy and other economic problems.

    It was the third meeting of the 19 countries since agreement was reached at a 27-nation dialogue in Paris in December last year on setting up four negotiating commissions to tackle the world's most troublesome issues.

    After almost 18 hours discussion at the December talks, the conference decided, to duck the issue of preparing detailed plans for the commissions to follow.

    One of the main problems of unity among the 19 Third World countries is whether or not to insist on setting firm guidelines for the commissions.
