RUSSIAN CONSULATE IN HONG KONG
1.
News Department were contacted today by Belinda Wallace of the South China Morning Post who asked about the opening of a Russian Consulate in Hong Kong. We see from the media summary of today's date that a Hong Kong government spokesman confirmed that an application had been received from Russia but that a date for setting up the Consulate had not yet been fixed. We therefore referred her to you.
2.
Grateful if you could let us have your full line to take on this subject, so that we can use it if Hong Kong journalists come to us.
