Prime Minister Nehru has said that India would like to help end the Suez Canal dispute between Egypt and Britain and France. "Our advice is listened to as a friend," he said in an interview televised by the Canadian Broadcasting System a few hours before his scheduled departure for London. "In that sense, we can help a little and we would like to help if we can," he said. He declared that the canal, blocked during the Anglo-French attack on Egypt, must be cleared and a political settlement obtained with Egypt.
