CONFIDENTIAL
both to minimise subsequent questioning and
because arrangements for a Hong Kong visit could
be set in hand without waiting for decision on
whether to include Peking (but the weekend falls
at an awkward time). On this basis a possible
itinerary might be:
Sunday 22 April
Monday 23 April
Tuesday 24 April
leave UK via Alaska
arrive Seoul (perhaps visit Panmunjom that afternoon)
talks in Seoul
Wednesday 25 April (am)
Thursday 26 April
fly to Tokyo
talks in Tokyo
Friday 27 April (pm) fly to Hong Kong
Sunday 29 April
either leave for UK or fly to Peking, returning direct to UK leaving late on 30 April.
3. Unless you see objection please put these
revised dates to the Japanese and Korean
Governments. Grateful for comments on the
proposals for Hong Kong and Peking.
