WE AGREE THAT THE BRIEF ON THE SEZ'S AND CROSS-BORDER
CONTACTS SHOULD BE ON THE LINES PROPOSED.
2. THE SYSTEM OF JOINT WORKING GROUPS HAS CONTINUED TO WORK
SMOOTHLY. THE NEW SUB-GROUP SET UP TO DISCUSS THE REDEVELOPMENT
OF THE RAILWAY STATIONS AT LO WU AND SHENZHEN HAS MADE GOOD
PROGRESS. FOLLOWING A VISIT TO GUANGZHOU AND SHENZHEN BY THE
COMMISSIONER FOR CUSTOMS AND EXCISE, A DIRECT CUSTOMS TO
CUSTOMS SERVICE LIAISON HAS NOW BEEN AGREED (PRIMARILY FOR THE
EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION ON SMUGGLING AND NARCOTICS).
3. THE SUBJECT IS NOT LIKELY TO FEATURE LARGE DURING LORD
BELSTEAD'S VISIT. AS SEEN FROM HERE, THE MAIN POINT TO
EMPHASIZE IS THAT THESE CONTACTS ARE TAKING PLACE IN A
FRIENDLY AND RELAXED ATMOSPHERE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN AFFECTED BY DEVELOPMENTS OVER THE FUTURE. IT IS CLEARLY IN THE INTERESTS
OF ALL CONCERNED THAT THIS PRACTICAL COOPERATION SHOULD
CONTINUE, TO THE MUTUAL BENEFIT.
