Eden added that the British government has decided to make certain no ships of any nation allty carrying strategic cargoes to China should be refuelled or supplied in a British port Third point Dulles and Eden agreed upon was that the "U.S. and British governments will concert efforts to secure the co operation of other nations In measures designed to exclude shipments of strategic material to the mainland of China." .
