UN SECURITY COUNCIL MEETING AT FOREIGN MINISTER LEVEL:

BILATERAL WITH THE CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTER

Problem

1.

On the assumption that the Security Council

meeting firms up for 21 May (and that Qian Qichen

attends, which is not certain), should we propose a

bilateral in the margins with Qian?

Recommendation

2.(i)

(ii)

(iii)

That we should do so, even though the bilateral

would then take place at the same time as the

opening of the third round of the Hong Kong

talks in Peking.

That the Secretary of State should fly to New

York on the evening of 20 May, arriving in time

for a bilateral with Qian that evening.

That we should propose soon to the

Chinese side a 90 minute meeting covering Hong

Kong, bilateral and international issues.
