LORD CALLAGHAN'S VISIT TO CHINA
Problem
1.
A
CIA
How to respond to Lord Callaghan's letters of 17 and 24/March concerning his attendance at the InterAction Council in
Shanghai.
Recommendation
2. I submit a draft reply from the Secretary of State offering to brief Lord Callaghan before his visit to China.
Background and Arqument
3.
Lord Callaghan has been invited to attend a meeting in Shanghai of the InterAction Council, a New York-based organisation with a membership of senior international figures aimed at promoting development. The group will then visit Peking for talks with Chinese leaders. Lord Callaghan's second
letter indicates that he has decided to accept. He will deliver
a report on his recent visit to Africa. The programme includes meetings with the Chinese President, the Premier and
Vice-Premier Zhu Rongji.
