PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR:
YOUR TELNO'S 2531 AND 2532 TO HONG KONG:
CHINESE ON HONG KONG.
EXCHANGES WITH THE
1. WU XUEQIAN HAS ACCEPTED AN INVITATION TO HAVE DINNER WITH THE
EC AMBASSADORS AT MY HOUSE ON 27 NOVEMBER.
2. ALTHOUGH THE OTHER EC AMBASSADORS WILL BE PRESENT THROUGHOUT,
I AM PRETTY SURE THAT I SHALL BE ABLE TO CONTRIVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO SPEAK TO WU OUT OF THEIR HEARING AND IN SO DOING TO SAY HOW
MUCH THE SECRETARY OF STATE LOOKS FORWARD TO SEEING HIM IN THE
UNITED KINGDOM NEXT YEAR, PREPERABLY DURING THE FIRST HALF.
3. YOU WOULD PRESUMABLY LIKE ME TO DO THIS. IF SO,
IS THERE
ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO ADD ? I SEE FROM YOUR TURS THAT
THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS THINKING IN TERMS OF A MEETING IN EUROPE OR THE FAR EAST WITH WU DURING THE SUMMER OF 1987, AS
WELL AS TALKS WITH HIM DURING AN OFFICIAL VISIT TO THE UNITED
KINGDOM. WOULD YOU WISH ME TO HINT TO WU THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE IS THINKING ON THESE LINES ? I BELIEVE THAT, AT THE MOMENT,
WU KNOWS ONLY THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS INVITED HIM TO
VISIT THE UNITED KINGDOM, AT A TIME AND UNDER ARRANGEMENTS WHICH
REMAIN TO BE DECIDED.
