Dear Prime Minits,
Mimili,
Thank you very much for your letter of the 22nd September and your comments on the position taken by INTERTANKO in response to the proposals by the Secretariat of UNCTAD for cargo sharing in the bulk trades and for phasing out open registries. We are of course greatly encouraged by your Government's firm attitude on these issues and the leadership provided to the "Group B" countries during the recent meetings in Geneva. I am confident that economic realism will eventually return to these discussions and carry the day.
I have recently been in Beijing where I had the opportunity of meeting Premier Zhao Ziyang, and where we had a Board meeting of the joint venture company in shipping my group and two agencies of the Chinese Government have formed a few months ago. I am pleased to say that there is keen interest by the Chinese leadership in more economic activities abroad.
I shall be visiting in London early next month and understand that you will be able to see me again for a few minutes on the 5th November. I am grateful for this opportunity and very much look forward to being able to report to you in more detail on INTERTANKO activities and developments in China and Hong Kong.
With kind regards,
り
