RAWALPINDI, Pakistan. (AP) - Pakistan and the United Nations have agreed on relief operations for victims of the civil war in East Pakistan, a U.N. spokesman announced today.

Agreement following a meeting yesterday between the Pakistan president, Gen. Agha Mohammed Yahya Khan and Ismat Kittani, U.N. assistant secretary-general for interagency affairs.

Talks between the two apparently overcame Yahya's insistence that international assistance should be administered by Pakistani relief agencies.

No details were available, but the spokesman said Egypt's Baghat A. el-Tawil, assistant director of the U.N. Office of Technical Cooperation in New York, has been named to coordinate the U.N. program.

MILLIONS DISPLACED

Millions of East Pakistanis were displaced during more than 10 weeks or fighting there.

The spokesman said el-Tawil was due in Pakistan in time to accompany Kittani Monday to Dacca, East Pakistan's capital.

At the meeting yesterday, "there was full agreement on the manner in which the operation should be organized and the president welcomed arrangements envisaged by the United Nations," the spokesman said.

According to the spokesman, Yahya sent word to U.N. Secretary-General U Thant of Pakistan's "readiness to cooperate fully at all levels in the planning and implementation of relief operations."

The agreement was expected to lead to large contributions to the relief effort within East Pakistan from the United States and other countries.

RELIEF HALTED

Relief and economic assistance from the outside world virtually halted when the army struck against Sheik Mujibur Rahman and his now banned Awami League on March 25.

The United States has said it planned to resume food shipments as soon as cargoes could be landed at eastern ports and the government could guarantee their delivery inland.

Joseph Ryan, chief of transportation in the U.S. Agriculture Departments' export marketing service, is currently in East Pakistan at the government's invitation. He is surveying harbor conditions there to determine whether the United States should start shipment of more than 320,000 tons of food and grain.

Pakistan has asked the United Nations for 250,000 tons of food and grain, 100,000 tons of edible oil, 30 coastal vessels and 500 vehicles.
