SINO-BRITISH FRIENDSHIP SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME
ISSUE
1.
What should ODA's objectives be for the annual
annual SBFSS
Commissioners' Meeting, to be held in Peking on 1 July.
RECOMMENDATIONS
2. I recommend that:
3.
i) ODA should seek to promote the ending of the SBFSS in
1997 as planned; but in the light of the ongoing Hong Kong talks should be careful to avoid sending negative political
signals at the 1 July meeting;
ii) ODA should seek to promote the idea that the SBFSS
should be focussed more on ODA's key sectoral priorities in
China, (the environment and better government);
iii) ODA should propose that SBFSS should seek to take
account of the recommendations of 'The Power of Change' Training Review.
These recommendations have been agreed by Dr Iredale, FED,
HKD and BE Peking.
