Interior of the Legislative Council Chamber, Parliament House, Wellington, photographed by Morrie Hill. A map of India and South East Asia is at the end of the chamber opposite the camera, hanging from the gallery. On either side of it are lined up the flags of the participating countries. The conference delegates are seated at tables arranged in a rectangle, open at the end facing the camera. Other participants are seated on arm chairs behind the front line delegates. In the centre two clerks sit at a table facing each other.
The Colombo Plan for Co-operative Economic Development in South and South-East Asia was launched in 1950. Initially the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were the non-Asian members of the plan until the United States joined in 1951. The part that these countries were to play was to provide the Asian members with financial and technical assistance to help them carry out their development programmes.
