MY TELEGRAMS NOS 552 AND 615: WI! YUEQIAN
1. THE MFA TELEPHONED ME ON 26 APRIL TO SAY THAT WU'S INVITATION TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE WAS FOR LUNCH AT THE CHINESE EMBASSY IN
PRUSSELS FROM 12.30 14.30.
2. IN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION, THEY SAID THAT THE DIVISION OF THIS
PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN DISCUSSION BEFORE LUNCH AND DISCUSSION OVER
THE TAPLE WAS A MATTER FOR PISCUSSION**.
3. STRUCTURED DISCUSSION AND NOTE-TAKING ARE OF COURSE PAPTICULARLY
DIFFICULT AT CHINESE MEALS. YOU MAY THEREFORE WISH ME TO SUGGEST
THAT THERE SHOULD BE A DISCUSSION IN OTHER SURRONDINGS FOR HALF AN
HOUR OR SO BEFORE THE LUNCH ITSELF PEGINS.
