COURTESY CALL BY THE NEW CHINESE AMBASSADOR,
MR JI CHAOZHU, ON THE PRIME MINISTER: 9 SEPTEMBER 1987
1. I attach Points to Make, background briefing and a
biographical note for the Prime Minister's use during the
call by the new Chinese Ambassador, Mr Ji Chaozhu. As
this is a courtesy call, there will be no need to discuss
matters of substance. The Prime Minister might note that
Mr Ji also began his career as a chemist.
2. In his meetings with Ministers so far, Mr Ji has
shown himself relaxed, intelligent and amusing.
English is excellent
-
His
as you would expect from a man who
was Zhou Enlai's interpreter.
Mr Ji has shown interest
in closer contact with us on international questions:
something we would welcome.
