SINCE DRAFTING MY TUR I HAVE SEEN FCO TEL NO 1311 TO PEKING (RESTRICTED AND INFO SAVING SHANGHAI) ABOUT MR WALDEN'S VISIT.

1.

2.

I THINK THE PROGRAMME IS TOO TIGHT. FLIGHTS FROM SHANGHAI TO HANGZHOU AND NINGBO ARE INFREQUENT AND UNRELIABLE. TRAINS TAKE TIME: FOR EXAMPLE, SHANGHAI TO HANGZHOU TAKES 3 AND A HALF HOURS. MAY 1 SUGGEST, THEREFORE, THAT ON TUESDAY 25 NOVEMBER MR WALDEN SHOULD FLY FROM PEKING DIRECT TO HANGZHOU, IF HE CAN ARRIVE IN TIME TO JOIN SIR Y K 'S PERSONAL AIRCRAFT FROM HANGZHOU TO NINGBO, OR FROM PEKING DIRECT TO NINGBO.

3. SIR Y K TOLD ME THAT VICE PREMIER WAN LI WOULD BE ACCOMPANYING HIM DURING HIS VISIT, BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF HE MEANT FOR THE WHOLE VISIT OR FOR THE NINGBO INAUGURATION ONLY.
