From my discussions with Ambassador and First Secretary of the Yugoslav Embassy in Pyongyang, I noted that in late-August this year President Tito will make a visit to the DPRK. The exact date of the visit will be established in accordance to [the availability of] other countries in the region, which will be included in President Tito’s travel to the Far East.

In preparation for the visit, at the beginning of June, a group of Yugoslav journalists will arrive in Pyongyang to interview comrade Kim Il Sung. Furthermore, a filming crew will arrive in order to make a documentary of the visit.

In collaboration with the Korean bodies, the Yugoslav Embassy in Pyongyang began preparations for several documents of an economic nature to be signed during the visit.
