The Council will have to take its own decisions in the
light of the outcome of any talks. Our clear aim
would be to reach an understanding on electoral
arrangements which are open, fair and which we judge
will be acceptable to LegCo.
why are you not leading the delegation?
Talks would be likely to absorb a great deal of time
for the negotiating team and in my role as Governor I
have many responsibilities to carry out here in Hong
Kong. But I would be closely in touch with the
progress of any talks which I have no doubt would be
carried out with firmness and skill by the Ambassador
and our colleagues from Hong Kong and London.
Doesn't the fact that the Ambassador would be leading the
delegation mean that China has succeeded in by-passing Hong
Kong?
