INFO IMMEDIATE F C O
PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT: ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTS.
سا
WE
1. ALTHOUGH MATTHEWS AND NAZARETH WILL BE IN THE UK DELEGATION (RATHER THAN THE OBSERVERS GROUP) FOR THE SIGNATURE CEREMONY, ASSUME THAT THEY WILL NOT (NOT) BE PART OF THE PRIME MINISTER'S PARTY FOR OTHER MEETINGS OR CALLS.
2. THERE IS A DANGER THAT THEY WILL FALL BETWEEN TWO STOOLS AS REGARDS ACCOMMODATION AND THE REST OF THE PROGRAMME. THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION WOULD BE TO REGARD THEM AS EMBERS OF THE OBSERVERS GROUP FOR ALL PURPOSES OTHER THAN THE SIGNATURE CEREMONY, AND TO ENSURE IN THIS WAY THAT THEY ARE ACCOMMODATED AND INCLUDED IN PROGRAMME EVENTS ALONG WITH THE OTHER HKG OFFICIALS.
3. GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD SPEAK TO THE MFA ACCORDINGLY. WE ARE TAKING PARALLEL ACTION WITH NCNA.
