YRTELNO 920: ASIAN PACIFIC POSTAL UNION (APPU) EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 1982

1.

We now propose asking DOI to seek APPU agreement to

observer status for the British Ensemble of Overseas

Territories. The DOI would add out of courtesy that

at Seoul Brunei alone would represent the ensemble. Thus we hope

that China would be unable to raise further objections and

the principle of observor status for the ensemble will

become established, leaving the way open for Hong Kong's

attendance at the Congress.

2. We should be grateful to know whether you can agree to

if so, how we should inform the Hong Kong postal

this
