Minister to visit Far East
The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Rt Hon Jeremy Hanley, is to visit several countries within his area of responsibility from August 30 to September 18.
The purpose of the trip is primarily familiarisation, though the Minister will also attend the South Pacific post-Forum Dialogue in Papua New Guinea.
Mr Hanley's itinerary is as follows: the Republic of Korea (August 30 - September 1), Hong Kong (September 2-6), Singapore (September 6-9), Australia (September 10-15) and Papua New Guinea (September 15-18). Final programme details remain to be confirmed.
The Minister's visit to Hong Kong is to familiarise himself with the territory and its people. He will see as much of Hong Kong as he can and meet a broad range of officials, community leaders and business representatives.
He will have meetings with the Governor and will also see representatives of the Executive Council.
Attention News Editors:
Mr Hanley will arrive in Hong Kong from Seoul at 8.30 pm on September 1 on flight CX441. The press are invited to be present.
