MY TELNO. 718 : ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK.

TUR RAISED THE QUESTION OF HOW AND WHEN TO INFORM THE CHINESE ABOUT OUR INTENTION (IF THAT #S. THE ULTIMATE CHOICE) TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE REPLENISHMENT OF THE ADF. NOW THAT CHINA HAS BECOME A MEMBER OF THE BANK (AND WILL WE ASSUME APPEAR AT BOARD MEETINGS IN DUE COURSE) WE BELIEVE THAT THIS MIGHT MOST SENSIBLY BE DONE AT THE APPROPR MATE MOMENT BY LOW KEY CONTACT BETWEEN DELEGATIONS. THEN BECOME UNNECESSARY TO RAISE THE ISSUE IN THE JLG.
