GOVERNOR TO GO TO LONDON FOR CHINESE PREMIER'S VISIT
******
THE GOVERNOR, SIR EDWARD YOUDE, SAID THIS (THURSDAY) EVENING THAT HE WOULD BE IN LONDON AT THE TIME OF THE VISIT OF CHINESE PREMIER ZHAO ZIYANG.
HE WAS REPLYING TO A QUESTION FROM A REPORTER AT THE AIRPORT ON HIS RETURN AFTER HIS VISIT TO CHINA.
ON HIS TRIP TO CHINA, SIR EDWARD SAID THAT EVERYWHERE HE KENT, HE HAD FOUND A VERY GREAT DEAL OF INTEREST IN, AND A GREAT DEAL OF GOODWILL TOWARDS HONG KONG FOLLOWING THE SIGNATURE OF THE JOINT DECLARATION.
HE SAID THAT THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN TRADE, MR ZHENG TUOBIN, HAD COME DOWN FROM PEKING TO SHANGHAI TO SEE THE TRADE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL EXHIBITION BEING HELD THERE.
+WE HAD BREAKFAST WITH HIM THIS MORNING, AND HE WAS ABLE TO SET OUT FOR US THE PRINCIPLES WHICH WILL GOVERN CHINESE IMPORT POLICY.
+AND THAT WILL BE OF GREAT VALUE, I THINK, TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE EXHIBITION, + HE SAID.
THE GOVERNOR SAID THE TDC EXHIBITION IN SHANGHAI +MADE IN HONG KONG '85+ WAS ATTRACTING A GREAT DEAL OF ATTENTION AND INTEREST.
+1 AM SURE IT IS GOING TO PROVE A GREAT SUCCESS, HE SAID.
+ WENT TO SEE IT AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON, AND THERE WAS A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE VISITING THE STANDS AND EXPRESSING INTEREST IN THE PRODUCTS.+
HE SAID THEIR VISIT TO SHANGHAI ALSO PROVIDED AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME VERY USEFUL DISCUSSIONS WITH MAYOR WANG DAOHAN.
+WE CONCLUDED FROM THOSE DISCUSSIONS THAT THERE IS A VERY SUBSTANTIAL POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION BETWEEN HONG KONG AND SHANGHAI,+
BEFORE SHANGHAI, SIR EDWARD SAID HE VISITED JIANGSU PROVINCE - ONE OF THE FASTEST DEVELOPING PROVINCES IN CHINA+ AT THE INVITATION OF DIRECTOR XU JIATUN OF THE NEW CHINA NEWS AGENCY AND GOVERNOR MADAME GU XIULIAN.
+WE HAD SOME USEFUL DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM TOO ON ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION WITH JIANGSU PROVINCE, HE SAID,
+WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL WE ARE TO THE AUTHORITIES IN SHANGHAI AND IN JIANGSU FOR THE HOSPITALITY THEY SHOWED US.
