I am very sorry that I was unable to meet you
in Hong Kong on 27 September as planned. As you will
have heard, events in the Middle East forced me to
return to London: it was a great disappointment to
have to postpone a tour to which I had been looking forward for so long.
I was, of course, informed of your discussions
with the Prime Minister, Ian Gilmour and Keith Joseph
on the Guangdong nuclear project. I discussed the
project briefly with the Chinese Foreign Minister when
Huang Hua passed through London on 1 October. We will
now try to get a clearer picture of the Chinese
position. Murray MacLehose will of course be keeping
me informed.
It was good of you to go to the trouble of
arranging a picnic lunch and presentation on Guangdong
and I am delighted that, although I could not be there, Princess Alexandra and Mr Angus Ogilvy were able to benefit from your thoughtfulness.
