	Colombo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Colombo handles most of the foreign trade of Sri Lanka and is an important fueling station.
		Other distinctive buildings in the city are the Wolvendahl Church, built by the Dutch in 1749; a complex of hospitals; the University of Colombo (1921); several Buddhist and Hindu temples; and the residences of the head of state and of the prime minister.
		Colombo also remains the commercial centre of the island; the head offices of local and foreign banks, the Insurance Corporation (which has a monopoly of insurance), brokerage houses, and government corporations are all located in the city.

	A New Plan for the Colombo Plan (Features)
		Across the city near the Colombo town hall, a granite obelisk marks the meeting in 1950 that launched the organisation called, rather lengthily, The Colombo Plan for the Economic and Social Development of South Asia and Southeast Asia.
		The strongest indication of the East Asian interest in the Colombo Plan was the appointment in 1995 of South Korean economist, Hak-Su Kim, as the new Secretary General.
		The prime mover of the rejuvenated Colombo Plan is Japan, and the idea of greater inter-Asian cooperation is a concept dear to aid bureaucrats in Tokyo.

	Foreign Minister: Launch of "Australia and the Colombo Plan 1949-1957"
		The plan, although then sometimes referred to as the 'Spender Plan', came to be called the 'Colombo Plan'.
		While the Colombo Plan was by no means on the scale of the US Marshall Plan for the reconstruction of Western Europe it was an important vehicle over several decades for transmitting aid and know-how from the developed countries to developing regional countries.
		The Colombo Plan provided an important vehicle for Australia to engage with all the countries of South and South-East Asia whether they were fellow members of the British Commonwealth, newly independent states (like Indonesia) or countries still under colonial rule.

		Members of the Colombo Plan have agreed among themselves that training at technician level and below should be provided only for highly specialised instruction for which adequate facilities are unavailable within their own or neighbouring countries.
		On the initiative of Australia, the Colombo Plan Council for Technical Co-operation has now adopted a standard form of evaluation questionnaire directed to the recipient governments to obtain their assessment of the results of training abroad.
		In looking at the results achieved by the Colombo Plan in the educational area, we have to remember that we are not dealing only with statistics but with human beings.

		The Colombo Plan was promoted as the medium through which Western aid-capital and technical assistance-would be made available to the Asian countries.
		The plan was in essence an instrument of containment and for that reason it was targeted at all the countries, Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth, within the strategic and security orbit of the Soviet Union and China.
		The task of the promoters of the Colombo Plan, the United Kingdom in particular, was to convince the Burmese that the programme was not 'political' in orientation or purpose and was designed primarily to promote regional stability and economic development.

		The purpose of this Memorandum is to seek Cabinet authority for the allocation of the 1958-59 Colombo Plan Vote between various recipient countries and between the economic development programme and the technical assistance programme.
		Expenditures under the Canadian Colombo Plan technical assistance programme are limited by Canada's capacity to provide experts or to provide training places in Canada, and by the ability of the recipient country to use experts or to nominate acceptable trainees.
		Eighteen months ago, the position of the Colombo Plan Fund was reviewed and it was established that, of the sums allocated by Cabinet to the non-Commonwealth countries, $1.4million remained available for projects.

		Colombo Plan students were typically male, from wealthy, middle-class families, already educated, and able to speak adequate English.
		Collectively, Colombo Plan students (and private Asian scholars) were a non-threatening, but powerful, challenge to conventional stereotypes of non-Europeans and, in many ways, epitomised the ability of non-British people to adapt and assimilate to Australian conditions.
		The Colombo Plan and other such schemes are a kind of blood-money paid by the Australian to silence his guilty conscience towards Asians and Africans’.

		The first students to come to New Zealand under the Colombo Plan were six dental nurse trainees from Ceylon — featured on the cover of the publication — who in those times made a striking appearance in their colourful saris.

		The Colombo Plan for Cooperative Economic Development in South and South-East Asia developed out of a meeting of Commonwealth Foreign Ministers in Ceylon, in 1950.
		By exploring some of the cultural, ideological and political underpinnings of the Colombo Plan, this article illustrates that, as part of a comprehensive foreign policy, it is best understood as being motivated by international security priorities and the need to allay domestic cultural concerns.
		The Colombo Plan was an attempt to counter communist expansion in the newly independent nations of Southeast Asia by raising living standards and therefore removing the conditions likely to create popular sympathy for communist forces.

		Australia wanted to stop communism in Asia, but it also saw the plan as a vehicle to explain to Asian leaders the need for the continuation of the White Australia Policy in the hope that they would understand the Australian perspective and lessen their criticism of the policy.
		The returning Colombo Plan students acted as a sort of advertisement that Australia was a good place to come to for education.
		The Colombo Plan, therefore, far from being a vehicle through which the White Australia Policy would become more acceptable in Asia, was a significant catalyst in its demise.
