Canton, we have reached agreement on a cultural front
with the Chinese Government. The exhibition of these
very magnificent archaeological treasures which have
been discovered in China to be exhibited in London.
This is something which we very much welcome. Only today I see in the papers, pictures of Mr. Robson coming back from the other side of the boarder having reached a very satisfactory agreement regarding water supplies for Hong Kong, this is something which I
think we all welcome. This in itself is an excellent example of mutual co-operation working level which is so important and there are other examples. At the moment there is a team, I believe, from China in Hong Kong looking into the Hotel position with a view to increasing tourism, I assume in the Peoples Republic of China. We already mentioned the communications aspect of it, I will mention the water aspect of it. Banking there have been more talks about, further links in the banking field and also in the electricity field. I think this is all very encouraging and there is no doubt at all about it that our relations with China have improved in a dramatic fashion in the last nine months.
