SIR MURRAY ATTENDS RECEPTION IN LONDON
The Governor, Sir Murray MacLehose, took time off from official
meetings in London on Wednesday (September 6) to attend a reception given
by the Chamber of Chinese Traders (U.K.) Limited.
The occasion, according to a telegram received in Hong Kong last
night, marked the inauguration of the fifth term office bearers who had
earlier been sworn in by Mr. A.M.J. Wright, Hong Kong Commissioner.
Sir Murray's visit to the chamber was his first since he took
office last year.
The Governor spent some 45 minutes at the reception chatting with
Mr. Chan Sau-on, President of the chamber and members of the committee and
their guests.
At the swearing in ceremony, Mr. Wright said: "We in the London
office look forward to another year of co-operation with your chamber in
working for the Hong Kong community here.
"The range of community activities organised by Hong Kong people
in Britain is increasing year by year and your chamber is playing an important
part both in providing services and in encouraging Hong Kong people to take
more interest in public affairs.
"I hope that more public spirited people will co-operate with your
chamber during the coming year in this work.
