MIPT : PEKING TELNO 464 HONG KONG AGREEMENT : RATIFICATION AND
REGISTRATION AT THE UN.
1. IT WILL BE APPARENT FROM MIPT, AND FROM THE POINTS MADE ABOUT THE
LEGCO TIMETABLE FOR THE LEGISLATION ON PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES FOR
THE JLG IN MY TELSNOS 626 AND 668, THAT EARLIER RATIFICATION, AS
PROPOSED BY ZHOU NAN, WILL NOT (NOT) BE POSSIBLE.
2. ON REGISTRATION AT THE UN, THIS WOULD BE A BIG PLUS FACTOR IN HONG KONG. WHATEVER THE PRECISE TIMING OF THE REGISTRATION, I HOPE
THAT IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO AGREE WITH THE CHINESE THAT BOTH GOVERNMENTS SHOULD DECLARE PUBLICLY POSSIBLY AT THE TIME OF RATIFICATION IF NOT BEFORE THEIR INTENTION TO REGISTER THE JOINT
DECLARATION AT THE UNITED NATIONS.
