YOUR TELNOS 158 AND 173: VISIT BY HU YAOBANG
1.
THOMSON CALLED THIS AFTERNOON IN JIANG ENZHU (DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE MFA'S WESTERN EUROPEAN DEPARTMENT) AND TOOK HIM THROUGH THE OUTLINE PROGRAMME AND ADMINISTRATIVE POINTS CONTAINED IN TURS
(EXCLUDING THE BUKKINGHAM PALACE LUNCHEON ON 11 JUNE).
2. JIANG WAS GRATEFUL FOR THIS INDICATION OF OUR THINKING, HE SAID THAT THE CHINESE SIDE WOULD RESPOND ON OUR PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS WHEN THEY HAD DEVELOPED DEFINITE IDEAS. THEY WERE NOT YET IN A POSITION TO CONFIRM THE IDENTITY OF THE SENIOR CHINESE LEADERS WHO WOULD ACCOMPANY HU ON HIS EUROPEAN VISIT.
3.
COSTS: JIANG ASKED IF OUR REFERENCE TO AN
OFFICIAL SUITE NO GREATER THAN 12 MEANT THAT HU WOULD BE INCLUDED WITHIN THAT SUITE. THOMSON SAID HE THOUGHT THAT THE OFFICIAL SUITE WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO HU (IE HU PLUS 12).
4. THE OUZLINE PROGRAMME AND FURTHER IDEAS IN PARA 1 OF YOUR FIRST TUR AND PARA 3 OF SECOND TUR SEEM FINE. PARAGRAPHS 3(D) (1) AND (111) OF YOUR SECOND TUR SEEM PARTICULARLY ATTRACTIVE. FOR THE MOMENT WE HAVE NO FURTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR THE PROGRAMME WHICH ON THE BASIS OF WHAT YOU HAVE OUTLINES SHOULD BE VERY FULL. WE SHALL COMMENT FURTHER, IF NECESSAGY, IN THE LIGHT OF CHINESE REACTIONS.
