J7 J, AUSTRALIA-,-
TRANSCRIPT PRESS CONFERENCE SEOUL SHILLA HOTEL 7 FEBRUARY 1954
FROM FILE 828/ 1/ 29
FOR PRIME MINISTER'S PRESS OFFICE IN PARLIAMENT HOUSE
E AND 0 E PROOF ONLY
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I WOULD SAY AT THE OUTSET HOW MUCH AND
THE AUSTRALIAN PARTY HAVE ENJOYED OUR BRIEF VISIT TO YOUR COUNTRY.
I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF HAVING VERY SERIOUS DISCUSSIONS WITH
PRESIDENT CHUN AND WITH YOUR PRIME MINISTER, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER
AND FOREIGN'MINISTER WITH OFFICIALS AND, OF COURSE, ALL OF MY
OFFICIALS HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY. ALSO OF APRTICIPATING IN
DISCUSSIONS WITH YOUR COUNTERPARTS.
STHE RANGE OF MATTERS THAT WE HAVE DICUSCED ARE AS FOLLOWS:
FIRSTLY, THE REGIONAL SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS, MOST PARTICULARLY
RELATIONS BETWEEN YOUR COUNTRY AND THE DPRK, AND BROADER REGIONAL
SECURITY CONCERNS WE BOTH SHARE. SECONDLY, WE HAVE DISCUSSED
BILATERAL ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN OUR TWO COUNTRIES AND WE HAVE
AGREED THAT THERE'IS ROOM. FOR AN EXPANSION, I BELIEVE A CONSIDERABLE
EXPANSION, OF TRADE BETWEEN OUR TWO COUNTRIES AND WTHIN SUCH
EXPANSION THE OPPORTUNITY OF SOME REDRESS IN THE UNFAVOURABLE
IMABLANCE AGAINST KOREA IN THEIR TRADE RELATIONSHIP. WE BELIEVE
THAT CAN COME MOST PARTICLARLY BY KOREA SEEKING TO EXPAND ITS SHARE
OF THE EXISTING IMPORT MARKET IN AUSTRALIA. THE NUMBER OF CATEGORIES
WHERE WE HAVE VERY SUBSTANTIAL INPUTS, THE SHARE OF KOREA IS VERY
VERY LOW INDEED. SO WE BELIEVE THAT TOGETHER WE CAN MOVE TO ASSIST
KOREA TO OBTAIN SOME EXPANSION IN THAT SHARE.
WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE DESIRE WE BOTH HAVE FOR A FREEING UP OF
INTERNATIONAL TRADE, THE SUPPORT THAT WE GIVE TO A CALL FOR A NEW
MULTILATERAL TRADE NEGOTIATION ROUND. AND IN THAT CONTEXT
PRESIDENT CHUN INDICATED SUPPORT OF KOREA FOR THE INITIATIVE THAT WE
HAVE TAKEN IN TRYING TO MOVE TOWARDS ARRANGING A MEETING OF THE
COUNTRIES IN THE REGION TO ATTEMPT TO SECURE AN AGENDA FOR SUCH A
NEW MTN ROUND WHICH TAKES ACCOUNT OF THE INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRIES
IN THE REGION.
NOW ' THAT IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE ACCOUNT OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE
HAVE DEALT WITH IN OUR DISCUSSIONS YESTERDAY, BUT THEY COVER SOME OF
THE IMPORTANT AREAS. AND NOW I'D LIKE TO TAKiE SOME QUESTIONS
FROM YOU.
JOURNALIST: ( iNAUDIBLE)
WILL I BE DICUSSING IN PEKING THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE
RAISED HERE IN RESPECT OF THE KOREAN S1TUATION. IS THAT THE
GUESTION. YES I HAVE INDICATED THAT I WOULD IN DISCUSS-ON THAT I
WILL INEVITABLY BE HAVING WITH THE CHINESE LEADERSHIP ASOUT REGIONAL
AND GLOBAL SECURITY ( UESTIONS, 1 WILL BE CONVEYING THE VIEW OF THE
LEt HDERSHiP : uF I HIS COUNIRY. AS I'O THE 01HER hAiTTERS IHAT I'LL . E
u'IS'-USSINHG ir CHIN. A CLEARLY i, IHERE'S A BROAD RANGE OF ISSUES
THERE. BECAUSE YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT AUSTRALIA HAS A VERY CLOSE
RELATIONSHIP WITH CHINA WHICH COMMENCED WITH THE ELECTION OF THE
PREVIOUS LABOR GOVERNMENT AT THE END OF 1972 THE EARLY RECOGNITION
3Y AUSTRALIA OF CHINA. AND THAT RELATIONSHIP WAS BUILT UPON BY THE
PREVIOUS CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT. SO IN THE COURSE OF THE LAST
DECADE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN DEVELOPED IN A RANGE OF AREAS
OF ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL AS WELL AS POLTICAL. SO ONE OF THE AREAS
THAT WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IS PRECISELY THOSE CLOSE BILATERAL
RELATIONS, HOW THEY'RE OPERATING AND WHAT OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE
FOR EXPANDING THEM. WE WILL ALSO CLEARLY BE TALKING ABOUT REGIONAL
ISSUES, NOT THE LEAST IMPORTANT OF WHICH OF COURSE AS FAR AS J
AUSTRALIA IS CONCERNED IS THE OUESTION OF INDO-CHINA. WE WILL BE
" TALKING ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC, POLITICAL AND STRATEGIC
SITUATION AND THOSE ARE THE BROAD RANGE OF ISSUES ABOUT WHICH WE
WILL BE TALKING. AND I BELIEVE THAT IN THAT CONTEXT OBVIOUSLY I
WILL BE REFERING T'O THE MATTERS RAISED HERE WITH ME.
JOURNALIST: ABOUT YOUR DISCL'SSION'WITH THE CHINESE LEADERSHIP
ABOUT THE KOREAN SITUATION, WHAT TO RENOUNCE THE VIOLENCE AND
SBEGIN FACE TO FACE TALKS WITH SOUTH KOREA?
WELL, I DON'T WANT TO OVERESTIMATE THE POWER OF AUSTRALIA.
FROM THE TIME WE CAME TO OFFICE WE HAVE BEEN AT PAINS TO EMPHASISE
THAT WE ARE A SMALL NATION WITH LARGE RESOURCES, BUT A SMALL NATION
OF FIFTEEN AND A HALF MILLION PEOPLE. WE DON'T WANT TO EXAGGERATE
THE INFLUENCE THAT WE BRING TO BEAR IN INTERNATIONAL COUNCILS.
BUT HAVING SAID THAT I THINK IT IS TRUE THAT OURS IS A VOICE WHICH IS
LISTENED TO AND THEREFORE WE WILL BE SAYING IN WHATEVER FORUM,
WHETHER IT BE IN BILATERAL DISCUSSIONS WITH IMPORTANT COUNTRIES
LIKE CHINA OR IN INTERNATIONAL FORUMS, WE WILL BE MAKING IT CLEAR
THAT THE REALITY WHICH MUST BE FACED BY THE DPRK IS THAT THERE ARE
TWO GOVERNMENTS ON THE KOREAN PENINSULA AND THAT THE REPUBLIC OF
KOREA IS VERY MUCH A VIBRANT, VIABLE REALITY. IT MUST BE RECOGNISED
AND DEALT WITH. AND THAT THE PROPOSITION THAT HAS BEEN ADVANCED
BY THE DPRK FOR TRI-PARTITE TALKS IS NOT REAL. THAT THERE MUST
BE FACE TO FACE DISCUSSIONS, DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE DPRK AND
THE ROK AND THAT THAT IS THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT FOR ANY ULTIMATE
RESOLUTION OF THE CONFLICT ON THE PENINSULA. AND THAT ONCE THAT IS
UNDERSTOODi THERE IS ROOM FOR PERHAPS QUADRIPARTITE DISCUSSIONS OR
EVEN AS HAS BEEN SUGGESTED, A LARGER FORUM, TO WHICH COULD BE
ADDED JAPAN AND THE SOVIET UNION. BUT WHATEVER THAT LARGER FRAMEWORK
THE ESSENTIAL PART OF IT IS THE DIRECT FACE TO FACE NEGOTIATIONS
BETWEEN THE TWO REALITIESi AND THE TWO PRESENT REALITIES, ON THE
PENINSULA. NOW THAI IS THE ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING, THE POSITION OF
MY GOVERNMENT. WE'LL PUT THAT, AS I SAY, IN WHATEVER BILATERAL
DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE WITH RELEVANT COUNTRIES OR IN ANY INTERNATIONAL
FORUM. JOURNALIST: MR PRIME MINISTER, YOL ARE TALKING ABOU THE FUTURE OF
ECONOMIC RELATIONS OF KOREA AND AUSTRALIA. WHAT POINT DO YOU THINK
WE CAN PICK UP ON. WE HAVE A DISFAVOUR IN KOREA'S SIDE OF 2 TO 1
AND WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC POLICIES OF AUSTRALIA ON THIS POINT.
AND THERE ARE A LO: T OF IMPORT RESTRICTIONS ON KOREAN MANUFACTURED
GOODS, WHAT IS rHE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT'S POSITION ON THIS?
P. M. LET ME CL(. RIFY ONE NIISTAKE IN YOUR QUESTION FIRST, THEN I' LL
ANSWER TH OTHER PART OF IT. T HE RE A RE NO--R E ST RI CT IONS 0 N PN
SOODS. WE DON' f DISCRI'IINA'. E AGAINST KO" REA. TO THE EXYE\ J THA
VrOST OTHER COUNtRIES IN THE WRDHV OEEE'ET FPOETO
= R PARTS OF O(' UR DOMESTIC IDlUSTRIES, THE-7Y* ARE NON-DISCRIr1ILNA" ORY
4GAINST COUNTRIES. SO DON'T LET THERE BE ArlY SUGGEISTION THAT W':
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST KOREA BECAUSE WE DON'T*.
AS TO THE c! UESTION OF HoW WE MAY BE ABLE TO ASSIST IN REMEDYING THIS
IMBALANCE WHICH IS OF THE OR-DER OF 3 TO I AGAINST KOREA I' D MAK0 * E
THESE OBSERVATIONS. FIRST9 YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT To SM EXTENT
THAT IMBALANCE REEFLECTS THE DIFFERING STRUCTURES AND DIFFERENT'
MEANS OF OUR ECONOMIES. W4E HAVE BECOME A mAJOR SUPPLIER 01--RAW
MATERIALS FOR YOUR DEVELOPING INDUSTRIESs PARTICULARL Y I N IRON OR'E
AND COAL FOR YOUR INNOVATED IRON AND STEEL COM~ PLEX.
THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE REO; UIRED LARGE---C UAANITIES OF THOSE RAW
MATERIALSi WHICH HAVE ENACBED' YOU TO DEVELOP YOU IRON AND STEEL
INDUSTRY AND EXPORT AS A RESULT OF THAT's THEY' RE NOT OF ITSELF A BAD
THING IN THE INITIAL IMBALANCE THAT EXIqTS EBETWEEN Us. JUST LET llE_
PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY IF YOU WANTr TO BUILD UP, AS YOU HVE, AN
IRON AND STEEL QOMIPLEX WHICH IS GOING TO ENABLE YOU To HAVE
SUBSTANTIA:. EXPO) RTS TO OTHER COUNTRIES AND AUSTRALIA HAVING ITS 01W. J
IRON AND STEEL INDUSTrRYt THE FACT THAT WE FACILITATE THAT EXPAN\ SIO,'
ON YOUR PART WHICH GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY To WAVE
SUBSTANTIAL EXPORTS To OTHER COUNTRIES BUT NOT OF THAT PRODUCT TOAUSTRALIA.
IN OVERALL TERMS THIS IS VERY MUCH TO THE ADVANTAGE
OF KOREA EVEN THOUGH IN THE INITIAL PROCESS 11T INVOLVES A
SIGNIFICANT INABLANCE BETWEEN AUSTRALIA AND KOREA. IN OTHER WO'RDS
THE POINT THAT I'M MAKING IS THAT ANY COUNTRY MAKIING A JUDGMENT
ABOUT ITS TRADING POSITIONi IT'S TOTAL EXTERNAL RELATION).\ SHIPS YOU
SHOULD NOT SIMPLY LOOK AT ONE COUNTrRY AND S. AY, WELL T HERE IS AN
IMBALANCE9 IF IN THE PROCESS OF ACO. UIRING THAT IMBALANCE, IF YOU
LIKE, YOU ARE FACILITATING AN OVERALL ACHIEVEMENT IN YOUR EXTERNAL
RELATIONSHIPS. THAT'S THE FIRST POT NT.
THE SECOND, WHICH FLOWS TO SOM" E EXTENT FOR IT, 1S THIS.
THAT I'VE RElIrNDED OF WIISTERS AND OFFICIALS W TTH W H ON IVE S-POK EN
HERE THAT IF ' MOU LOOK AT THE PARTS OF TRADE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEE-N I
AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN YOU WILL SEE THAT I N THE EARLY STAGES WHERE JAPAN
WAS BUILDING UP IT'S BASIC INDUSTRIES AND WE WERE SUPPLYIN, 1G RAW-.
MATERIALSi THERE WAS THE SAME SORT OF VERY SIGNIFICANT ltI-BALANCE.
NOW AS THRC'UGH TIME THE STRUCTURES OF ECONOMIES CHANCElD THAT GROSS
IMB. PALAN.\ CE-IN TH-JAPAN/ AUSTRALIAN TRADE RELATIONSHIP WAS DIMINISHE'D.
THE THIRD POINT I MAKE IS COMING TO WHAT ARE THE IMMEDIATE SORTS OF
THIN'. GS THAT WE CAN Do. WE HAVE SAI. D TO THE GOVERNMIENT HEREi TO
OFFICIALSi TH4AT lF YOU LOOL( AT AUST. RALIA' S IMPORT PATTERN T;-Eh's ArfE.
