I have learned, with personal regret, of the
acceptance by the Standing Committee of the National
People's Congress of your resignation as Premier of the
State Council of China.
Your time in office has seen relations between our two countries reach a new high point and it is a source of great satisfaction to me that you and I should have signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the question of Hong Kong.
I am delighted that you will continue to hold very high office in the political life of your country and I wish you every success in your new appointment.
