We will make a final review of our membership of UNESCO towards the end of 1985 after the general conference. Until then we shall continue in consultation with other member states, to pursue vigorously the reforms set out in my letters of 2 April and 4 July 1984 and that of my right hon. and learned Friend of 5 December 1984 to the Director-General of UNESCO.
