YOUR TELNO 635 TO FCO: MY TRAVEL PLANS FOR 1993-94.
1. AS YOU WILL BE AWARE, BOTH THE AUSTRALIAN TREASURER (DAWKINS) AND THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND TRADE (EVANS) HAVE VISITED HONG KONG IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. THEY BOTH CALLED ON ME, AND DURING THE COURSE OF OUR DISCUSSIONS INVITED ME TO VISIT AUSTRALIA AS SOON AS I COULD. SENATOR EVANS HOWEVER, MADE IT CLEAR THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR HIS GOVERNMENT TO HANDLE SUCH A VISIT BEFORE THE ELECTIONS TAKE PLACE NEXT YEAR. I EXPRESSED MY WISH TO VISIT AUSTRALIA AS SOON AS I REASONABLY COULD, BUT WITHOUT ANY COMMITMENT ABOUT TIMING.
