YOUR TELNO 2555: PROPOSED ILO-SPONSORED CONFERENCE IN HONG KONG
PROFESSOR THURLEY DID IN FACT TELEPHONE HKD SOME WEEKS HE MENTIONED THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE IN GENERAL TERMS AND UNDERTOOK TO FOLLOW UP IN WRITING. HE HAS NOT YET DONE THIS.
OUR IMMEDIATE REACTION IS THAT THE PROPOSAL SHOULD BE SUPPORTED. THERE WOULD BE ADVANTAGE IN INVOLVING CHINA MORE FULLY IN REGIONAL DISCUSSION OF LABOUR MATTERS, AND IN PARTICULAR IN STRENGTHENING LINKS BETWEEN CHINA AND HONG KONG IN THIS FIELD. SUBJECT TO YOUR OWN VIEWS, WE WOULD PROPOSE TO TELL PROFESSOR THURLEY THAT WE WOULD VIEW HIS PROPOSAL FAVOURABLY.
