Like Royal Visit
The Leader of Government Business in the Cook Islands, Mr. D. C. Brown, has expressed the hope that the Queen Mother will visit the Cook Islands when she "pays her deferred visit to New Zealand".
Mr. Brown said this when he spoke by telephone to a senior official at London's External Communications Centre on February 13 to inaugurate a direct telephone service between Rarotonga and London. The service, which is via Wellington and the new COMPAC cable, bridges a gap of 16,000 miles.
