FLAG A
HONG KONG: LETTER FROM CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY CHINESE SOCIETY
PROBLEM
1.
How to respond to a letter from Mr Chester Kwok, the
255) President of the Cambridge University Chinese Society, inviting
the Secretary of State to visit Cambridge to talk to the Society
about HMG's policies on Hong Kong and Anglo-Chinese relations.
RECOMMENDATION
2.
I recommend that the Private Secretary should reply to
Mr Kwok on the lines of the attached draft.
BACKGROUND
3.
The Hong Kong Government Office in London has occasional
contacts with the Society, to which it gives an annual grant of
£160. The Commissioner, Sir Jack Cater, had planned to meet
members of the Society informally in February, but was prevented
by illness from doing so.
4.
It would not seem that the Society is of sufficient
importance to merit a visit and speech by the Secretary of State.
