FOR MORRIS FROM WILSON.
I PROPOSE VISITING SEOUL ON WAY TO TOKYO MEETINGS IN MID-APRIL AND
TO ARRIVE KIMPO AT 1850 ON 6 APRIL ON KE604. I CANNOT GIVE PLANNED DATE OF DEPARTURE FOR TOKYO BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG
MY ENVISAGED DISCUSSIONS WITH K AL WILL TAKE.
2. MAIN PURPOSE OF VISIT IS TO PURSUE WITH K AL IDEAS RAISED BY
THEIR DEPUTY REGIONAL MANAGER WHEN HE VISITED ME HERE (MY LETTER CA/25/1 OF 28 FEBRUARY TO STABLES, COPIED TO YOU, REFERS). THOSE IDEAS WERE DISCUSSED HERE BY VISITING DOT UNDER-SECRETARY
(ROGERS) WITH HONG KONG GOVERNMENT ON 7 MARCH AND I SHALL BE ATTENDING FURTHER HONG KONG BRIEFING MEETING ON THAT SUBJECT NEXT
WEEK (PROBABLY ON MONDAY 3 APRIL). HOWEVER, AT THIS STAGE I SUGGEST YOU DO NO MORE THAN SET UP FURTHER INFORMAL MEETING BETWEEN
MYSELF AND KO CHUNG-SAM ON AFTERNOON OF 7 APRIL. I SUGGEST YOU DO NOT SPECIFY SUBJECT OF MEETING (WHICH I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO DISCUSS WITH EMBASSY ON MORNING OF 7 APRIL) BUT SIMPLY SAY THAT INTENTION WAS TO EXPLORE A LITTLE FURTHER IDEAS HE AND I HAVE ALREADY DISCUSSED. IF SUGGESTED DATE PROVES INCONVENIENT TO KO
PLEASE SET UP MEETING ANY TIME EARLY IN FOLLOWING WEEK.
3. CPA WILL BE BOOKING ACCOMMODATION AT PLAZA HOTEL.
