With regard to tho
future representation of
Indian interests in the area, the Government of India
welcome the suggestion that, until other arrangements
can be made, Indian interests should be represented by
the officers whose services are now being taken under
the direct control of His Majesty’s Government* It is
hoped, however, in due course, to establish separate
Indian representation, and the form which this should
take has been under consideration. The view of the
Government of India is that it would only be necessary
at present to establish an Indian Consulate at Bahrain.
It would probably be possible for Indian interests at
Kuwait to be supervised by the Consulate which it is
proposed to establish at Basra, and for those in Muscat
to be entrusted for some years, to a non-career Vice
Consul. It is, however, of considerable importance that
an independent Indian representation should be
established in the area. There are already considerable
Indian commercial interests, and it is inevitable that
these will increase, with the development of the oil
resources and the consequent rise in local prosperity.
It also seems likely that there will be Indian air
interests in the near future.
N
6 . It is recognised that the proposal to establish
an Indian Consulate at Bahrain might be held to conflict
with the present treaty position between that principality
and the British Crown. It is, however, felt that in this
matter India can be regarded as having established a
special position, India has, for generations, shared in
the management of the interests of the British
Commonwealth in the area, has provided personnel from her
