1. THAILAND-CHINA BEFORE HIS DEPARTURE FOR CHINA, PRIME
MINISTER KHUKRIT SAID HE EXPECTED NO LAST-MINUTE HITCHES IN THE
NEGOTIATIONS TO ESTABLISH DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH PEKING.
KHUKRIT EXPRESSED PLEASURE WITH THE TONE AND SU~3STANCE OF THE
JOINT COPIMUNIQUE THAT WILL ANNOUNCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RELATIONS,
AND SAID HE BELIEVES IT GIVES BANGKOK MORE THAN MALAYSIA OR THE
PHILIPPINES GOT IN THEIR COMMUNIQUES?Y
25X1C I/A REVIEW OF THE DOCUMENT,
SHOWS THAT, IN FACT, IT INCLUDES NO
SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURES FROM THE TWO EARLIER AGREEMENTS. IT
INCLUDES A LENGTHY PARAGRAPH ON THE CITIZENSHIP OF ETHNIC
CHINESE IN THAILAND, RENOUNCING DUAL NATIONALITY AND
ENJOINING THOSE WHO ELECT TO REMAIN CHINESE CITIZENS TO
RESPECT THE LAWS AND CUSTOMS OF THAILAND. THE PROVISION,
WHICH CLOSELY PARALLELS THE LANGUAGE USED IN THE
SINO-MALAYSIAN COMMUNIQUE LAST YEAR, APPEARS TO HAVE
MET BANGKOK'S REQUIREMENT FOR A CLEAN; STATEMENT ON

WOULD SEEK TO RESOLVE BOTH ISSUES BEFORE AGREEING TO SIGN

THAILAND:31'S NATIONAL INTEREST FOR GOOD RELATIONS WITH
THE CHINESE. AT THE SAME TIME, HE DOES NOT EXPECT THE
CHINESE TO CEASE SUPPORT FOR THE THAI COMMUNIST
INSURGENCY SIMPLY BECAUSE THE TWO COUNTRIES HAVE
ESTABLISHED DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS. IN A MORE POSITIVE
VEIN, THE PRIME MINISTER SAID THAT RECOGNITION OF CHINA
WILL DRAW THE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN NATIONS CLOSER

CONCERNS ON CHINA AND VIETNAM.Y

26 APPROVED A BILL THAT MOVES THE COMORO ISLANDS FURTHER TOWARD
INDEPENDENCE BUT CALLS INTO QUESTION THE FUTURE TERRITORIAL INTE-
GRITY OF THE ARCHIPELAGO. THE ASSEMBLY VOTED TO ALLOW EACH OF THE
FOUR INDIAN OCEAN ISLANDS TO DECIDE SEPARATELY WHETHER TO ACFEPT
A DRAFT INDEPENDENCE CONSTITUTION THAT IS TO BE DRAWN UP WITHIN
SIX MONTHS BY 2111 A COMMITTEE REPRESENTING ALL COMORIAN POLI-
TICAL GROUPS. PRIME MINISTER CHIRAC'S GOVERNMEN'i HAD WANTED ALL
THE ISLANDS TO EE BOUND BY THE CONSTITUTIOWN, ONCE A MAJORITY
OF ALL THE ISLANDERS APPROVES ITS ADOPTION.//Y
i,
COMORIAN NATIONAL POLITICAL LEADERS ARE SURE TO DENOUNCE
THE ASSEMBLY'S ACTt1ION. AN ISLAND-BY-ISLAN:iD VOTE WILL ALLOW THE
MAHORAIS--THE INHABITANTS OF THE ISLAND OF MAYOTTE--TO END THEIR
ASSOCIATION DWITH THE REST OF THE COMOROS AND BECOME A FRENCH
DEPARTMENT. THE MAHORAIS VOTED AGAINST INDEPENDENCE IN THE
REFERENDUM OF DECEMBER 1974. MAYOTTE HAS A LARGE FRENCH AND NA-
TIVE CHRISTIAN POPU'911.1-430 nLATION, AND THE MAHORAIS FEEL LITTLE
SENSE OF IDENTITY WITH THE MUSLIM CULTURE THAT PREDOMINATES ON THE
OTHER ISLAND.1S.//M
