Text
On 29 April 1981, the Secretary-General of Western European Union (WEU) circulates the reply by the WEU Council to the question put by Sir Frederic Bennett, a British member of the WEU Assembly, on the measures that WEU member countries have taken or are contemplating taking to assist the Afghan resistance movements. Taking up the draft reply proposed by the French delegation (WPM(81)20/1), the Council affirms that the crisis was brought about by the Soviet military intervention and particularly emphasises the humanitarian aid that WEU can offer to the peoples of Afghanistan who have been driven from their country by hunger and fighting.
