Dear Private Secretary,
September 5th, 1986
I thought that the Foreign Secretary and the appropriate Heads of Department
might be interested to know that on September 18th-22nd I shall be in Japan in connection
with the establishment of a new Japanese-Cambridge educational foundation with Mr Heath and
Sir John Butterfield and in Hong Kong on the 22nd to 24th. On October 25th-November 1st I
will be in Israel, principally to take part with President Hertzog in a public seminar on the
thirtieth anniversary of the Suez Crisis organised by the University of Beersheva, but I also
intend to go to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. At the end of December my wife and I will be
visiting India; although this is a holiday we shall be staying with the Wade-Gerys in Delhi
at some stage, and Robert is very kindly organising some meetings with Indian politicians and
officials. I was born in India, where I lived for elevent years, and my father was a senior
officer in the old Indian Army (the Punjabis).
If it were possible I should like to call on the Governor in Hong Kong, as he
was Head of Chancery at the UK Mission to the UN when I was involved in its activities and
first met him. As this is my first visit to Hong Kong, where I shall be staying with British
business friends, I should welcome a talk with him about the situation if this could be
arranged.
If the Secretary of State or others in the Office wished me to make particula
points or call on particular officials or others I should be very willing to do so.
Yours sincerely,
Потії Пати
The Private Secretary to the Secretary of State,
Foreign and Commonwealth Office
James
