# SEATO poster No. 2, headquarters map (Urdu, Karachi)

An Urdu-language SEATO poster in blue and red. A photograph of the organisation's Bangkok headquarters sits at the centre, with lines running to outline maps of the eight member states. The slogan calls for joint action for peaceful progress. The tell is glittering generalities and bandwagon: 'peaceful progress' is the stated aim, and the radiating member maps present the alliance as a broad, shared undertaking.
