(If asked about Vice Premier Zhu Rongji's call on Tuesday 17 November]
Britain and China have commitments in the Joint Declaration to co-operate in making a success of the transition. No change in
our policy on that. Look forward to a discussion with the Vice Premier on Hong Kong and other issues. His main responsibilities are, of course, economic and trade.
