We also had positive discussions on the airport (the
project Chinese gave agreement to a further large contract) and on
speeding up the technical work in the Joint Liaison Group. We will be pressing to ensure that this is translated into practical progress.
Also had wide-ranging discussion with the Foreign Minister
on international issues and raised Human Rights/Tibet.
The Chinese President gave me a rambling account of the
Chinese economy, admitting difficulty but emphasising that
economic reform would continue.
