CHAIRMAN HUA GUOFENG
Q15. Mr. Parry asked the Minister if she will make a statement on her recent meeting with Chairman Hua Guofeng.
The Prime Minister: Premier Hua Guofeng visited Britain from 28 October to 3 November. His delegation included Vice Premier Yu Qiuli, Foreign Minister Huang Hua, and four Vice Ministers.
Premier Hua's programme reflected the importance which the Government attached to the first visit to this country by a Premier of the People's Republic of China. It included industrial and agricultural visits, as well as social, cere- monial and cultural occasions.
I had two sessions of official talks with Premier Hua, as well as a number of informal discussions. Our discussions on international affairs were wide rang- ing, and we reached a useful measure of agreement on many issues. We paid par- ticular attention to the dangers for South- East Asia of Vietnamese policies in Indo-China, and I underlined our deep

tions, and our determination to maintain
this process. We agreed that we had a mutual interest in the stability and pros- perity of Hong Kong, and Premier Hua gave assurances that immigration from China would be reduced. We also dis- cussed trade and defence sales in general terms, and cultural and air services agree- ments were signed.
Premier Hua's visit was the culmina- tion of several years of steadily improv- ing relations between Britain and China. I believe that the talks we had, and the visit itself, have made a significant con- tribution to the further developments of our relations, and have established an excellent basis for increasing co-operation
