MY TEL NO CREDA 242: GUANGDONG DELEGATION

(0.1.12) MY

I UNDERSTAND FROM WEEDON OF GEC THAT THE DELEGATION IS DUE

BACK IN HONG KONG ON 2 OCTOBER AND PLANS TO SPEND A FEW DAYS HERE BEFORE RETURNING TO CANTON. THEY ARRIVED IN HONG KONG ON 18 SEPTEMBER WITHOUT THE REQUIRED TRANSIT VISAS. THESE WERE ARRANGED ON THE SPOT, BUT THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE TO AVOID HAVING TO DO THE SAME AGAIN ON THEIR RETURN. GRATEFUL YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH THE DELEGATION TO CONFIRM THAT THEY HAVE APPLIED FOR VISAS IN LONDON AS I REQUESTED LAST WEEK.
