Ref. No. 4237／3053／62 3 August, 1970
Excellency,
As you are well aware, the Government of the Republic of China
had made available eight veterinarians to the IEG, three of whom
have finished their contract already. Previously we had request-
ed for the extension of the services of the above experts for 5
years and your Government had agreed to a two-year extension.
The IEG attaches great emphasis to the development of veterinary
programme as a means to improve the live-stock economy of the c-
ountry. In connection with this programme the Chinese veterinary
mission has shown satisfactory performances and rendered valuab-
le services in carrying out research and related field works.
However, since there is more veterinary research and operational
work to be done in future, the continued services of these expe-
rts is essential and therefore, we request an extension of their
contract for further duration of four years. We also would appr-
eciate early recruitment of three experts in place of the ones
who have already returned home.
Accept, Excellency, the assurance of my highest consideration.

Ⅱ Letter from Mr. sun Yun-suan, Minister of Economic Affairs,
to Mr. Belai Abbai, Minister of State Head of Planning Commi-
ssion.
Excellency, Taipei, September 8, 1970
I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter of Au-
gust 8, 1970 addressed to my predecessor, conveying your Go-
vernment's request for extending the period of service of the
Chinese Veterinarian Mission in your country.
My Government is happy to learn of the satisfactory performa-
nces of the Chinese Veterinary Mission during the past years.
In order to continue the technical cooperation between our t-
wocountries, my Government agrees to the extension of the pe-
riod of service of the Mission for another two years. However
, owing to the shortage of veterinarians at home, only four
of them will be available for the extended period of service.
Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest

consideration.
