CHINA
(3) JAPAN-USSR RELATIONS
(4) THE FORTHCOMING UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY (CAMBODIA, THE FALKLANDS, THE MIDDLE EAST AND AFGHANISTAN)

IF THERE ARE ANY PARTICULAR BILATERAL POINTS WHICH YOU WOULD WANT ME TO RAISE ON THIS OCCASION HOPE YOU CAN TELL ME OF THEM QUICKLY SO THAT WE CAN, IF NECESSARY, WARN THE MFA.
