1.
DEPUTY I WAS ASKED TO CALL THIS MORNING BY JIANG ENZHU, DIRECTOR OF THE MFA'S WESTERN EUROPEAN DEPARTMENT, TO HEAR A PROPOSAL ABOUT THE DATES FOR HU'S VISIT.
2.
JIANG SAID THAT THE PRIME MINISTER'S PREFERENCE FOR 9 TO 14 JUNE HAD BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN PLANNING HU'S WESTERN EUROPEAN JOURNEY. BUT IT WOULD FIT IN BETTER WITH OVER-ALL PLANNING IF HU COULD ARRIVE IN THE UK ON SUNDAY, 8 JUNE, AND DEPART ON THE EVENING OF 11 JUNE FOR WEST GERMANY (AFTER LEAVING LONDON, HU WOULD VISIT, SUCCESSIVELY, GERMANY, FRANCE AND ITALY, SPENDING 3/4 DAYS IN EACH). JIANG SAID THAT THIS PROPOSAL WAS A PRELIMINARY ONE, ADDING THAT HU'S DEPARTURE COULD PERHPAS TAKE PLACE ON THE MORNING OF WEDNESDAY 12 JUNE. I UNDERTOOK TO REPORT, BUT SAID THAT, AS MINISTERS WERE NOT ALWAYS IN OR NEAR LONDON ON A SUNDAY, ARRIVAL ON 6 JUNE COULD CONCEIVABLY BE INCONVENIENT FOR THEM.
3. I ASKED JIANG FOR GUIDANCE ON THE SIZE AND COMPOSITION OF HU'S PARTY AND FOR THOUGHTS ABOUT HIS PROGRAMME. JIANG SAID THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS ONCE WE HAD REPLIED TO HIS PROPOSAL
ON DATES.
