YOUR TELNO 412 TO FCO: HUNGARIAN TRADE OFFICE
WE
1. THE MAIN ADVANTAGE FOR US IN HAVING A HUNGARIAN TRADE OFFICE IN HONG KONG WILL BE INCREASED CONVENIENCE FOR HONG KONG RESIDENTS WISHING TRAVEL TO HUNGARY. BY 'FACILITATING THE ISSUE OF VISAS', HAVE IN MIND AN ARRANGEMENT WHEREBY HONG KONG BUSINESSMEN AND OTHERS WILL BE ABLE TO HAND IN THEIR TRAVEL DOCUMENTS TO THE TRADE OFFICE AND GET THEM BACK IN DUE COURSE STAMPED WITH A VISA. HOW THE HUNGARIANS ARRANGE THIS IS FOR THEM TO DECIDE. SUCH AN OFFICE MIGHT RECEIVE APPLICATIONS AND REFER THEM TO BUDAPEST FOR APPROVAL. BUT IF THEY WERE GIVEN DELEGATED AUTHORITY THAT WOULD BE FINE BY US.
