FCO TELNO 157 (NOT TO ALL) VISITS OF MR NOTT AND MR PARKINSON
1. THE DATES FOR MR PARKINSON'S VISIT REMAIN AS IN TELNO
CREDA 58
(to KL?)
2. IN THE LIGHT OF COMMENTS FROM POSTS, AND OF MR PARKINSON'S
PROGRAMME, MR NOTTIS PROPOSED DATES HAVE BEEN AMENDED. HE NOW
INTENDS TO VISIT HONG KONG FROM 23 SEPTEMBER TO
AM 1 OCTOBER. HE WOULD THEN STAY IN JAKARTA UNTIL
PM 3 OCTOBER, GOING ON TO KUALA LUMPUR
UNTIL PM 5 OCTOBER.HE WOULD THEN VISIT BANGKOK UNTIL 7 OCTOBER
3. WE HOPE THESE REVISED TIMINGS WILL BE ACCEPTABLE. THEY WOULD
SEEM TO IMPROVE THE CHANCES OF GENERAL PREM BEING IN BANGKOK
DURING MR NOTT'S VISIT (BANGKOK TELNO 327 NOT TO ALL) AND WOULD
SEPARATE HIS TIME IN JAKARTA MORE NEATLY BOTH FROM MR
PARKINSON'S DATES AND THE ARMED FORCES DAY CELEBRATIONS ON
5 OCTOBER.
4. (FOR KUALA LUMPUR) WE HAD CONSIDERED WHETHER MR NOTT MIGHT
VISIT YOU ON 28 SEPTEMBER, IN THE HOPE OF CATCHING DR MAHATHIR
BEFORE HIS DEPARTURE FOR MELBOURNE: BUT THIS WOULD CAUSE SERIOUS
PROBLEMS FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE TOUR AND WE MIGHT NOT IN ANY
CASE BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE THE NECESSARY MEETINGS.
WE STILL HOWEVER BELIEVE A VISIT TO KUALA LUMPUR WOULD BE
VALUABLE EVEN IN THE ABSENCE OF DR MAHATHIR, NOT LEAST SINCE THE
MALAYSIANS MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND IF MR NOTTS VISIT TO KUALA LUMPUR
