Summary of Events
1-14 November 1963
Poland will construct a boron-processing refinery in Turkey. The
contract reportedly does not call for payment in the products of the
facility.
Algeria and the USSR, signed their first long-term trade agreement
on 4 November. Protocol stipulations for 1964 envision that total trade
for the year will amount to $20 million.
The UAR, Cuba, and the USSR have delivered. sizable quantities of
Bloc equipment to Algeria since the onset of its conflict with Morocco
on 8 October. Tanks, heavy ground equipment, and aircraft were in-
cluded in the cargoes of the seven vessels involved, only one of which
was Soviet. The equipment delivered by the UAR and Cuba probably
was sent with Soviet approval.
The Somali Government has reconfirmed its decision to accept the
Soviet offer of military assistance, which is now valued at $42 million.
Soviet deliveries probably will include armor, heavy artillery, anti-
aircraft weapons, patrol ships, and aircraft. The number of Somali
military trainees undergoing training in the USSR has now reached
about 210, with more personnel scheduled to go in the near future.
A new 5-year trade agreement between India and Czechoslovakia
provides for a doubling of trade between the two countries by 1968.
In addition, Czechoslovakia has offered India a credit of $50 million
with the possibility of increasing this amount to $100 million.
