FOR PS/LORD GLENARTHUR
YOUR TELNO 423 TO PEKING: LORD GLENARTHUR'S VISIT
OMELCO ARE KEEN TO HAVE A PROPOER MEETING WITH LORD GLENARTHUR BEFORE THE DINNER ON 30 JUNE. THEY WERE PERSUADED TO ACCEPT THE MORE INFORMAL ARRANGEMENT LAST TIME ON THE GROUNDS THAT IT WAS THE MINISTER'S FIRST VISIT. BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE TO INSIST ON INFORMAL CHAT ONLY ON THIS OCCASION, PARTICULARLY SINCE THE SECRETARY OF STATE WILL BE HAVING A PROPER MEETING.
2.
DEPARTURE TIME ON 1 JULY NOTED. AS YOU WILL BE AWARE, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR THIS THE PROGRAMME NEEDS TO START ON THE AFTERNOON OF 29 JUNE. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A FLIGHT CA 303 WHICH ARRIVES IN HONG KONG FROM GUANGZHOU AT 11.35 THAT DAY. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT IT WOULD LEAVE GUANGZHOU AT ABOUT 11
