WE WOULD HOPE THIS CAN BE ARRANGED EARLY IN THE VISIT. IN

ADDITION, COULD YOU SAY THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO APPROPRIATE PEOPLE ABOUT TOURISM AND RAILWAY AND SEA COMMUNICATIONS (LE. THE THEMES IN PARAGRAPH 5 OF MY TELNO 253 TO THE F.C.0.). ON TOURISM, I THINK IT WOULD BE WORTH SUGGESTING SPECIFICALLY LI XUZHANG (WHO VISITED HONG KONG AND TALKED TO A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE TOURIST/HOTEL BUSINESS LAST YEAR). I THINK IT WOULD ALSO BE

WORTH SAYING THAT WE PRESUME A CALL WILL BE ARRANGED ON THE MFA.
