NIGEL COX'S TELELETTER TO YOU OF 5 SEPTEMBER

CONSULAR AGREEMENT AND CHINESE VISA OFFICE

SUH

1 I AM SORRY IF PARA 2 OF OUR TEL NO 1945 WAS

UNCLEAR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WHAT WE WANT TO GIVE THE

CHINESE IS A DATE BY WHICH WE WILL BE ABLE TO GO AHEAD WITH

THE EXCHANGE OF NOTIFICATIONS PROVIDED FOR IN ARTICLE 11

OF THE CONSULAR AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH AN ASSURANCE THAT THE VISA

FFICE AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENT ON

TRANSIT ARRANGEMENTS FOR PRC PASSPORT HOLDERS

(IF THAT IS NOT ALREADY OPERATIVE) WILL BE BROUGHT INTO

EFFECT BY THAT DATE. ON THAT ASSURANCE, IT SEEMS FROM NIGEL

COX'S TELELETTER UNDER REFERENCE THAT IF WE SET A

DATE IN, SAY, MID-NOVEMBER FOR THE EXCHANGE OF NOTIFICATIONS,

THERE WILL BE NO DIFFICULTY WITH COMPLETION OF HONG KONG

PROCEDURES BY THEN.

SIGNED..

.P A B THOMSON
