Subject： New Secretariat of ISO/TC 8
Dear Sirs,
With regard to Resolution 171, I conferred with related organs about the issue concerning the successor to the secretariat of ISO/TC 8, immediately after returning home from the Maldon meeting.
Our conclusion therefrom is：
"ISO/TC 8, as stated in its business plan, has been increasing its contribution to the IMO, international shipping, shipbuilding industries, etc., and is acquiring greater importance.
Under these circumstances, in order to solve the issue of the successor to the secretariat of ISO/TC 8 and to secure ISO/TC 8's smooth administration, I would like to express that Japan is prepared to assume the responsibility of the ISO/TC 8's secretariat from the ISO/TC 8 plenary meeting (to be held in October 1999) and onward."
Yours Sincerely,
