YOUR TELNO 1303 (SAVING TO SHANGHAI): MR WALDEN'S
VISIT
1. WE HAVE ASKED Y K PAO'S OFFICE IN HONG KONG TO SEND US
INFORMATION ABOUT ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE INAUGURATION CEREMONY AND FOR
THE TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODTION OF GUESTS. UNTIL THESE DETAILS ARE KNOWN, WE CANNOT MAKE FIRM PLANS FOR A VISIT TO PEKING. BUT IT SEEMS PROBABLE THAT MR WALDEN WOULD HAVE TO TRAVEL TO NINGBO ON TUESDAY, 25 NOVEMBER AND THAT APPOINTMENTS IN PEKING WOULD NEED TO BE ARRANGED FOR MONDAY, 24 NOVEMBER. THE PROGRAMME WE HAVE
TENTATIVELY DISCUSSED WITH THE CHINESE INCLUDES CALLS ON/VISITS TO THE STATE EDUCATION COMMISSION, THE BEIJING FOREIGN STUDIES UNIVERSITY AND THE BEIJING UNIVERSITY OF IRON AND STEEL TECHNOLOGY (PRECEDED BY A BRIEFING AT THE CHANCERY AND FOLLOWED BY A DINNER
WITH ME).
2. I SHALL HAVE HOUSEGUESTS AT THE TIME OF THE VISIT AND THEREFORE
CANNOT OFFER TO PUT UP MR WALDEN AND HIS PRIVATE SECRETARY. BUT HUGH DAVIES, WHO KNOWS MR WALDEN WELL, WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO DO
THIS.
