THE PRIME MINISTER

10 DOWNING STREET

15 August 1979

Рист

So how more,

I enjoyed our discussion on 13 August and valued your

lysis of the prospects for developing the China trade once more.

As you emphasised, Hong Kong has a major role as a show pace for Western achievements and technology and as a gateway

into China. This underlines the need to support large projects

by the UK such as those in which China Light and Power are

engaged.

As I told you, the British Government will maintain their

commitment to support your efforts on the current and succeeding contracts and I hope you will convey this assurance to your KESCO partner, Exxon. The exciting prospects and opportunities which China offers us must be grasped. You have an inside track and I know you will not lose the initiative.

1 Gad cards.

Sir Lawrence Kadoorie, C.B.E., J.P.

Yours sincerey
