OUR TELNO 1138: YOUR VISIT TO LONDON: OCTOBER 91
1.
WE AND HKGO IN LONDON ARE PREPARING A DRAFT PROGRAMME FOR YOUR VISIT IN OCTOBER. IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE YOUR PRELIMINARY SUGGESTIONS FOR ANY PARTICULAR MEETINGS YOU MAY WISH TO HOLD. WE WILL OF COURSE ARRANGE THE USUAL OFFICIAL MEETINGS.
2. FURTHER TO TUR, THE DATES FOR MINISTERIAL MEETINGS LOOK PROBLEMATIC. WE NOW UNDERSTAND THAT BOTH THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND THE PRIME MINISTER WILL FLY TO ZIMBABWE AT 0830 ON MONDAY 14 OCTOBER TO ATTEND CHOGM. ON PRESENT PLANS BOTH MINISTERS WILL RETURN TO LONDON ON 23 OCTOBER.
3
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS MEANS A MEETING WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE NOW LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE FOR 14 OCTOBER. DURING THE PREVIOUS WEEK, THE SECRETARY OF STATE WILL ATTEND THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CONFERENCE WHICH RUNS UNTIL AT LEAST 1600 ON FRIDAY 11 OCTOBER. HOWEVER, LORD CAITHNESS PLANS TO BE IN LONDON FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING 14 OCTOBER.
