UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Dec, 15--Nigerian Foreign Minister Jaja Wachuku strongly defended today the action of the United States, Belgium and Britain in sending a rescue mission to the Congo.
He was the first African delegate to speak out on behalf of the Western powers and Congo Premier Moise Tshombe in Security Council debate that opened last Wednesday.

Britain and France said the Western powers had no other choice than to go to the aid of the hostages.
