VISITS 1989: THE JLG FACTOR.
1
·
DATES FOR JLG XII WERE AGREED AT JLG XI IN HONG KONG ON 9 DECEMBER: VIZ 14-17 MARCH 1989 INCLUSIVE, IN PEKING. HOLDING THE JLG HERE ALWAYS IMPOSES A MASSIVE LOGISTIC BURDEN, TYING UP MUCH OF THE EMBASSY TRANSPORT, COMMUNICATIONS, AS WELL AS THE FULL ATTENTION OF ALL OFFICERS DEALING WITH HONG KONG. THIS TIME I SHALL BE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES, WHICH WILL NOT HELP.
AS FORESHADOWED WHEN THE DATES WERE FIRST DISCUSSED, THEREFORE, WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT THE WHOLE OF THE JLG WEEK AND ALSO 9 AND 10 MARCH WHEN I SHALL HAVE TO GO TO HONG KONG FOR A PRE-MEETING BE REGARDED AS A NO-GO AREA FOR OFFICIAL HIGH LEVEL VISITS (I.E. HIGH LEVEL ENOUGH TO REQUIRE THE HEAD OF POST'S ATTENTION RATHER THAN BEING ABSORBED WITHIN SECTIONS). ANYTHING YOU COULD DO TO SPREAD THIS MESSAGE IN WHITEHALL WOULD BE MOST WELCOME. OUR TIME AND ENERGY FOR BEING NICE TO IMPORTANT NON-OFFICIAL VISITORS WILL ALSO BE EVEN MORE SEVERELY LIMITED THAN USUAL.
