ay
Auking re press release
It's visit. Inclyt that's it ~ght be helpt ifte, house ti besoshanbe visits.
I HAVE NOW AGREED AN ITINERARY FOR A FAR EASTERN
TOUR INCLUDING VISITS TO SEOUL AND TOKYO AS SET OUT IN
PARAGRAPH 2 OF MY TUR. YOU MAY CONFIRM THESE DATES TO
THE JAPANESE AND KOREAN GOVERNMENTS. GRATEFUL FOR DETAILED
PROGRAMME SUGGESTIONS.
2. I AGREE THAT IF A PEKING VISIT IS TO TAKE PLACE IT'
SHOULD NOT CLASH WITH THE REAGAN VISIT. ON THE ASSUMPTION
THAT THE DATES FOR THE LATTER IN PEKING TELNO 166 ARE
CONFIRMED, I WOULD THEREFORE PLAN TO FLY FROM TOKYO TO
HONG KONG ON 27 APRIL, LEAVING FOR THE UK ON 29 APRIL
(AND THUS AVOIDING A CLASH WITH THE DATES FOR MR STANLEY'S
VISIT: WE ARE NOW WORKING ON A PLAN WHICH WOULD BRING HIM TO
HONG KONG NOT BEFORE 29 APRIL).
3. THE ONLY POSSIBLE OPTION FOR A VISIT TO PEKING,
ALTHOUGH EVEN THIS HAS CLEAR DISADVANTAGES, SEEMS TO BE
BRINGING MY DEPARTURE FROM THE UK FORWARD TO FRIDAY 20
APRIL, ARRIVING IN PEKING ON 21 APRIL AND ALLOWING 48
HOURS THERE BEFORE DEPARTURE FOR SEOUL LATE ON 23 APRIL.
WE SHALL KEEP THIS OPTION OPEN FOR THE TIME BEING.
