INFO ROUTINE PEKING, HONG KONG, UKDEL IMF/IBRD WASHINGTON
MEETING WITH LIU, 3 JULY: IMF/IBRD ANNUAL MEETINGS 1997.
1. I RECALLED LIU'S EARLIER ENQUIRY OF 2 JUNE ABOUT DISCUSSIONS RELATING TO 1997 IMF/IBRD ANNUAL MEETINGS. I SAID THE PRESENT POSITION WAS THAT WE WERE AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM THE CHINESE SIDE ON THE POINTS RAISED BY SIR NIGEL WICKS WITH VICE MINISTER XIAN HUI-CHENG IN WASHINGTON ON 27 APRIL. WE WERE CONTENT THAT DISCUSSIONS ON THE SUBJECT SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE PURSUED BY THE EXPERTS IN WASHINGTON, WHICH WAS THE MOST EFFECTIVE CHANNEL. HOWEVER WE AGREED THAT TWO SIDES SHOULD KEEP TRACK OF DEVELOPMENTS IN THE JLG AND KEEP EACH OTHER INFORMED.
LIU, WHO SEEMED UNCLEAR ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE OF THE WASHINGTON DISCUSSIONS, INDICATED ASSENT.
2.
