The Chinese have requested further talks with the UK in

November; decisions on the financing terms we should offer

cannot be taken yet.

Chinese Request for Further Discussion

see (60)

Vice-Minister Li Peng, of the Ministry of Water Conservancy

and Electric Power, has indicated that he would like to come to

London for further discussions with the UK Government in

November, provided that we have something more to offer than in

Guangzhou in July. He also plans to visit France on the same

trip and will receive there proposals from both Framatome and

Alsthom. I believe we must welcome this opportunity for further

discussions, but we need to establish quickly where we stand on

collaborating with a nuclear partner.
