MR WADDINGTON'S VISIT TO THE INDIAN SUB CONTINENT AND HONG KONG: SEPTEMBER 1986

Thank you for your letter of 9 July.

This is an interesting idea and we are consulting

posts in the Sub Continent about the timeliness

of the visit to ensure that there are no competing

events. As you will know the Indian Sub Continent is

a very sensitive area in relation to a number of

items in the race relations and immigration field

and it may be necessary to be especially careful about

this visit.

3.

We are also consulting the Acting Governor of

Hong Kong about that part of the visit. When posts

have responded I will write to you again.

4.

We shall be pleased to nominate a Foreign Office

official to accompany Mr Waddington.
