SIR DAVID WILSON:
There's no
about
question, there's no suggestion
renegotiating the joint declaration
itself, that's the agreement between Britain
and China on the future of Hong Kong, signed
very good agreement,
in 1984.
incidentally,
It's
it goes into a great deal
of
detail, No question of trying to renegotiate
that.
What now is needed is that that is carried out
in practice in letter and in spirit. Things
like the basic law which is now being drafted,
the framework constitution for Hong Kong's
future, that that should reflect what's in the
joint declaration. We need other confidence-
building measures, we need a good relationship
with China to help to build up confidence
Hong Kong,
in
!
