The League delegate, Mr. M. Toé, and the ICRC representative, Mr. T. Germond, were received by the Prime Minister, Mr. M. Trovoado and the Ministers of Health, Social Affairs and Sports, Information, and Education and Culture. They also had an interview with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
