The Secretary of State's Far Eastern Visit
In connection with this morning's PQ meeting::
(i) In case you did not have it on your papers you may
like to know that the Secretary of State will be in Hong Kong over the weekend of 17 to 19 April on route for Japan. During this visit, the first to Hong Kong by a Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary responsible for the Dependent Territories, Mr. Stewart will have an opportunity to discuss questions of the Colony's internal administration and external relations with the Governor, senior officials and members of the Executive and Legislative Councils.
(ii) Mr. Stewart will also, as you may know, be in Japan from
19 to 23 April and will no doubt be able to take this opportunity of discussing hijacking problems with the Japanese.
