6. Letters of invitation. We share Hong Kong's concern about the latest Chinese comment that there is no need for a letter from HKG. We will wish to stick firmly to the earlier understanding that there should be a total of three letters of invitation: one each from the Chinese and HMG, with a supporting Letter from HKG.
7. This last point is of particular importance to us and we do not want to leave the Chinese remark unchallenged for any longer than necessary. Grateful if, in advance of Ministerial confirmation of our position as a whole, you would take an early opportunity to register our concerns on this to Zhang and Wei, drawing as necessary on the arguments in para 2 of Hong Kong TUR.
