1 SINCE OUR NEXT CONFIDENTIAL BAG LEAVES HERE ON THE 12 AUGUST, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HAVE THE RECORD OF THE DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN MR GOODLAD, THE SULTAN AND PRINCE MOHAMMED NOW.

2. MR GOODLAD SAID THIS WAS HIS FIRST VISIT TO BRUNEI. HE HOPED
THE UK MIGHT WELCOME A FURTHER VISIT FROM THE SULTAN SOON. THE
SULTAN SAID HE HAD DERIVED MUCH PLEASURE FROM HIS STATE VISIT IN
1992. BUT HE VISITED BRITAIN AT LEAST TWIC EACH YEAR.
CHOGM
3. MR GOODLAD COMMENTED THAT HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN AND THE PRIME
MINISTER HOPED THAT THE SULTAN WOULD ATTEND THE CHOGM IN CYPRUS IN OCTOBER. WERE THERE ANY PARTICULAR TOPICS BRUNEI WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON THE AGENDA? THE SULTAN SAID THAT OFFICIALS WERE STUDYING THE RELEVANT PAPERS AND PROPOSALS. NO DECISIONS HAD YET BEEN REACHED. MR GOODLAD THOUGHT THE AGENDA WOULD INCLUDE SOUTH AFRICA AND THE HARARE CALL FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE. TERRORISM, DRUGS TRAFFICKING AND INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CRIME WOULD PROBABLY ALSO FEATURE. THE UK FOUND THE COMMONWEALTH AN IMMENSELY VALUABLE GROUP FOR DISCUSSION. THE SULTAN CONFIRMED THAT BRUNEI CONTINUED TO ATTACH IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMONWEALTH AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING PERSONAL CONTACTS, IDEAS AND COOPERATION. MR GOODLAD CONVEYED THE PRIME MINISTER'S GREETINGS. THE SULTAN ASKED MR GOODLAD TO
BACK AND ASKED HOW THE PRIME MINISTER WAS.
