So far as relationship with Specialized Agencies is concerned, suitable progress has been made, and the Conference approved of the draft agreement with ILO which has already been approved by the governing body of that Organization. It is expected that this agreement will be implemented in the immediate future. DIPLOMATIC PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES The Conference had before it for consideration the draft Convention of Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities prepared by the United Nations Secretariat to implement the resolution of the General Assembly of 13 February, 1946. The United Nations indicates that it proposes to convene in the near future a special conference to consider the conditions prescribed for Specialized Agencies. The Conference therefore requests the Director-General to accept any invitation which may be sent by the United Nations to attend such a conference, and to ensure that the particular requirements of FAO will be met, whatever form they may eventually take. The text of the resolutions adopted by the Conference and a summary of the report of the Director-General of FAO are annexed to this report.
