A file of correspondence and press material concerning an agreement by Czechoslovakia to sell arms to Egypt, in exchange for cotton and rice. The documents discuss a rumour that India had rejected an offer of arms from Czechoslovakia; and an Israeli protest regarding the sale of arms to Egypt, in light of a previous assurance from the Czechoslovak government that it would not sell arms to any country outside the Eastern bloc. The documents also contain a translation of a report published in the Finnish press on the Czechoslovak-Egyptian arms deal.
