(Translation)
Secretary-General
International Civil Aviation Organization,
I have the honour to inform you that the Government of the People's Republic of China has decided to accede to
the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed
on Board Aircraft signed in Tokyo on September 14, 1963, with the reservation that the Chinese Government will not be bound by Paragraph 1, Article 24 of the Convention.
At the same time, the Chinese Government declares
illegal and null and void the signature and ratification by the Chiang clique usurping the name of China in regard to the above-mentioned Convention.
The Chinese Government requests that the International Civil Aviation Organization distribute the text of this letter of accession to all states contracting parties co
of the Convention.
Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.
(Signed) Huang Hua
Minister of Foreign Affairs of
the People's Republic of China
Peking, October 18 1978
