VISIT BY HKMO OF THE MFA OFFICIALS TO HONG KONG

1.

IN THE MARGINS OF MY CALL ON ZHENG WE IRONG YESTERDAY, I ASKED

IF THE VISIT TO HONG KONG BY THE GROUP FROM THE HKMO OF THE MFA WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT BY SUN YANHENG (SENIOR CHINESE REPRESENTATIVE

ON THE LAND COMMISSION) AS ALL WILL BE TRAVELLING TO HONG KONG TOGETHER. ZHENG SAID THE TWO VISITS WERE SEPARATE. THE GROUP FROM THE HKMO OF THE MFA WOULD BE HAVING CONSULTATIONS ON SUBJECTS OTHER THAN

LAND. ZHENG DID NOT THINK THAT A MEETING WITH THE PA'S OFFICE WAS

PLANNED. I SAID I WAS SURE THAT YOU WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE THEM AND

TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE THEY MIGHT REQUIRE. ZHENG SAID THAT IF HOSPITALITY WERE OFFERED, HE WAS SURE THAT WANG JIAJI AND HIS COLLEAGUES WOULD BE HAPPY TO ACCEPT. I PROMISED TO PASS THIS ON.
