FCO TELNO 2162 TO HONG KONG: POSSIBLE VISIT BY LORD CAITHNESS
1 A VISIT HERE BY LORD CAITHNESS WOULD BE MOST WELCOME. AT PRESENT WE KNOW OF NO PARTICULAR EVENTS AT WHICH HIS PRESENCE WOULD BE PARTICULARLY DESIRABLE BUT WE WOULD RECOMMEND AVOIDING IF POSSIBLE THE PERIOD 18-21 FEBRUARY, WHEN THE NEXT ROUND OF INTER-KOREAN PRIME MINISTERIAL TALKS IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE IN PYONGYANG AND WITH WHICH SENIOR INTERLOCUTORS WILL INEVITABLY BE PREOCCUPIED.
2.
WE ARE ALSO SCHEDULED TO HAVE A VISIT BY THE WOLVERHAMPTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FROM 10-14 FEBRUARY AND WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF LORD CAITHNESS' VISIT COULD BE SCHEDULED TO AVOID CLASHING WITH THE CHAMBER'S FIRST TWO DAYS HERE.
