UN WORLD ASSEMBLY ON AGING

1. I enclose a copy of a letter of 28 January from the Government Secretariat in Hong Kong, from which you will see that Hong Kong would like to attend the World Assembly in Vienna.

2. Hong Kong frequently take part in similar meetings in their own, right and we would certainly have no objection on this occasion. Would you please therefore let the Secretariat know of Hong Kong's wish, and confirm that the eventual issue of a separate invitation presents no difficulty. I imagine that it would also be helpful if sets of relevant background papers could be sent direct to the Government Secretariat in Hong Kong if they do not already receive them.
