Addressed to Commonwealth Office telegram No. 1712 of 20 November.
Repeated for information to Peking, Singapore and Washington.
195) My telegram No. 1709: Hong Kong Border.
NCNA have now told us that Commander Wong (the principal Chinese negotiator) is 'busy' and cannot meet our representatives this afternoon 20 November; but he will propose another date.
2. We have replied that we note the Chinese wishes; but in view of the substantial measure of agreement which has already been. reached we hope it will be possible before too long to resume the discussions from the point at which they were left off.
Foreign Office pass Immediate Peking as my telegram 620 and routine Washington 386.
Sir D. Trench
[Repetition to Peking referred for Departmental
decision. Repeated as requested to other posts]
