REGL
THE MFA HAVE TOLD US THAT LORD CALLAHAN HAD ASKED FOR PRIVATE MEETINGS WITH CHINESE LEADERS IN ADDITION TO THE GROUP MEETING (IE WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF THE INTER-ACTION COUNCIL) BUT THAT JIANG ZEMIN WILL NOT BE FREE FOR SUCH A MEETING BEFORE 18 MAY. (THE GROUP MEETING WITH HIM IS ON 17 MAY). THE MFA ARE NOT YET SURE EXACTLY WHEN JIANG WOULD BE AVAILABLE, SO WOULD BE GRATEFUL TO KNOW WHETHER LORD CALLAGHAN HAS ANY FLEXIBILITY ABOUT HIS DEPARTURE ARRANGEMENTS (AF 285 AT 1230 ON 18 MAY) OR WHETHER THE ONLY POSSIBILITY WOULD BE AN EARLY MORNING MEETING ON 18 MAY.
2.
GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD SEEK LORD CALLAGHAN'S RESPONSE. HE MAY ALSO LIKE TO KNOW THAT THE DINNER ON 17 MAY, ORIGINALLY DUE TO BE HOSTED BY LI PENG, WILL NOW BE HOSTED BY QIAO SHI.
