NO DISTRIBUTION REPETITION ONLY
YOUR TELNO 77: TECHNICAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT
1. INFORMATION ON THE COAL GASIFICATION PROJECT IS SCANTY, EVEN IN SHENZHEN. I WAS TOLD BY THE SHENZHEN DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION THAT
THE PROJECT WAS CURRENTLY BEING STUDIED BY THE SHENZHEN MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT AND THE MINISTRY OF COAL BUT THE CORPORATION SAID THAT THEY HAD NO FURTHER DETAILS. THE CORPORATION SAID THAT THEY WOULD
BE HAPPY TO PASS ON INFORMATION FROM UK COMPANIES.
2. A BRITISH CONTRACTOR WHO HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE PROJECT
IS BABCOCK WOODALL DUCKHAM WHO ARE PART OF THE SCHRODER/BRITISH
GAS GROUP FROM WHOM YOU HAVE ALREADY HEARD. I AM ADVISING THE
GROUP TO MAKE AN EARLY VISIT TO SHENZHEN.
3. ON CONSULTANCY, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT BRITISH GAS MIGHT BE
INTERESTED IN THE PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY. IF NOT, THIS MIGHT BE A
SUITABLE PROJECT FOR CHANNELLING THROUGH THE BRITISH CONSULTING
ENGINEERS (CHINA) GROUP IN HONG KONG.
Mein Wucher.
