May I therefore wish our visitors from
Hong Kong a very pleasant stay in this country,
all success in the business that has brought
them here, and a future of assured progress and prosperity on the far side of the troubles that
also Crank cloud the horizon at present.
May I &#blemet, ka da t
you, Mr. Chairman, and your fellow industrialists from this country for the gracious hospitality
which you have extended to our visitors from
Hong Kong and to myself. It is one of my great
anxieties that there should be the fullest
possible understanding and co-operation between the people of this country and the people of
our territories overseas, all of whom are working with a common purpose and determination to overcome the difficulties and dangers that
beset the civilised world today. It has there-
fore given me great pleasure to take part in so happy a function, where East and West have
met in that spirit of friendship and
association which is vital for the future
both.
