FOLLOWING FROM WILSON
1.
PLEASE PASS THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM ME TO KE ZAISHUO.
BEGINS. ONE SAD CONSEQUENCE OF MY NEW APPOINTMENT IS THAT I SHALL
HAVE TO LEAVE MY POSITION ON THE BRITISH SIDE OF THE JOINT LIAISON
GROUP. I HAVE GREATLY VALUED THE CO-OPERATION WE HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO BUILD UP IN THE GROUP AND THE AMOUNT OF PRACTICAL AND
CONSTRUCTIVE WORK WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE. THE JOINT LIAISON
GROUP HAS HAD A GOOD BEGINNING. I AM SURE THAT IT WILL HAVE AN
EVEN BETTER FUTURE. PARTICULARLY IF YOU YOURSELF CONTINUE TO BE INVOLVED. I HAVE GREATLY ENJOYED WORKING TOGETHER WITH YOU EVER
SINCE WE BEGAN OUR DISCUSSIONS IN THE SUMMER OF 1984. DESPITE LEAVING THE JOINT LIAISON GROUP. I FEEL SURE THAT THERE WILL BE
MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO CONTINUE TO MEET. I CERTAINLY HOPE
SO. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WELCOME TO VISIT HONG KONG WHILE I AM
THERE.
2. I HOPE WE SHALL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU SOON WHO WILL BE TAKING
MY PLACE AS SENIOR REPRESENTATIVE ON THE BRITISH SIDE OF THE JOINT
LIAISON GROUP.
3. WITH ALL BEST WISHES. ENDS.
