Dear Sir,
EXTENSION OF THE AGREEMENT ON HANDICRAFT TECHNICAL COOPERATION
Pursuant to our recent conversation regarding the Agreement men-
tioned above between our two Governments, which was signed on F-
ebruary 12, 1973 and expired for the second time on February 11,
1997, I formally suggest that it be renewed through EXCHANGE OF
LETTERS by the Chinese Ambassador and your Prime Minister, the
same way as we did on November 3, 1975 for another period of tw-
o years with retrospective effect from February 12, 1977.
Should it meet with your Minister's approval, please be kind en-
ough to take initiative and send me a copy of the LETTER from y-
our side, so that we can make necessary arrangements for the si-
gning ceremony on a date agreed.
Your earliest reply in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)
