- Story Text: Defence chiefs of staff from the nine-member Western European Union (WEU) met in Paris on Wednesday (April 10) for talks on defence policy cooperation and the Middle East situation.
The one-day meeting, the second of its kind since August 1990, was also expected to discuss concerted European responses to external defence requirements in the light of the Gulf War. Some member countries, including Britain, felt that not all of their European neighbours contributed as much as they could have to the allied war effort.
Also on the agenda was the plight of Iraqi refugees fleeing forces loyal to the Baghdad regime. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
