Dear Jinni
246
Prime Minister's Visit to Hong Kong
see (288)
In your letter of 7 September you confirmed that the Prime Minister had agreed to hold a meeting with Urban Councillors during her visit to Hong Kong, and asked that consideration be given to adjusting her programme to allow an opportunity for her to discuss the future of Hong Kong with members of the business community.
We have consulted the Hong Kong Government on this, and they have suggested that a meeting be fitted into the Prime Minister's programme on the afternoon of 27 September. The revised programme would thus be:
1430 Return to Government House after lunch with
businessmen
1445
Meeting with representative group of businessmen
1530 Conclude meeting
1555 Depart for Press Conference
1600 Press Conference
1700
1705 Return to Government House (approx)
1800 Reception at Government House
The Hong Kong Government is proposing to ask about 30 businessmen to the meeting, representing a cross-section of the expatriate and local community. I attach a
provisional list. Short biographical notes will be provided before the meeting.
I should be grateful to know if this revised programme is acceptable to the Prime Minister.
