VISIT OF PRESIDENT SCHEEL
The President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Mr Walter
Scheel, will make a State visit to Australia in the second
half of this year, probably in October.
He will be accompanied by his wife, Dr Mildred Scheel.
The Prime Minister said today that President Scheel's visit
to Australia would be the first by a Head of State of the
Federal Republic of Germany. The Australian Government warmly
welcomed the visit, which would mark a further stage in the
development of closer relations between the two countries,
and provide a further opportunity for discussions on a
range of important bilateral and international matters of
interest to both countries.
The Prime Minister noted that there had been a significant
increase in the number of high-level visits between the
two countries in recent times. This was a trend which he
welcomed. He recalled with pleasure his own visit to Bonn in June 1977.
