ISLAMABAD TELNO MISC 33 : FOREIGN JUDGEMENTS
1. WE CONFIRM THAT WE DO INDEED WISH YOU TO SEEK THE PAKISTAN GOVERNMENT'S FORMAL AGREEMENT TO HONG KONG BECOMING A RECIPROCATING TERRITORY WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 44 (A) OF THE PAKISTAN CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. GRATEFUL TO KNOW THE RESPONSE.
2. AS YOU ARE AWARE FROM PREVIOUS TELS, THE PURPOSE OF DOING THIS IS TO AVOID HAVING TO DELETE PAKISTAN FROM THE SCHEDULE OF OUR OWN FOREIGN JUDGEMENTS (RECIPROCAL ENFORCEMENT) ORDINANCE. EVEN IF THE FULL LEGAL PROCESS IN PAKISTAN WERE NOT COMPLETE, A CLEAR COMMITMENT FROM THEM TO DESIGNATE HONG KONG A RECIPROCATING TERRITORY WOULD SUFFICE TO SUFFICE TO ALLOW US TO LEAVE THEM ON OUR SCHEDULE.
