Dear Bob,
欠
HONG KONG
personal letter from
Dame
I have had a
Lydia Dunn mentioning that she will be in London during the first two weeks of October. She recalls that the Prime Minister invited her to see her again when she was in London and wonders whether this would be the right moment to do so. It is not the best of times for the Prime Minister, but I dare say she could fit in a brief meeting very early in October if that was the Foreign Secretary's advice.
Dame Lydia also says that she hopes the Prime Minister will take the opportunity of her visit to Tokyo to stress the importance of Japanese links with Hong Kong and in particular to encourage the Japanese to invest more in manufacturing in Hong Kong. It occurs to me that it would be a good idea to have a passage on this in the Prime Minister's speech to businessmen in Tokyo. I should be grateful if the Department could prepare
prepare such a passage, which you might let me have together with any comments on the draft speech by the afternoon of 6 September.
