Dew Colin,
VISIT OF LI PENG
My Secretary of State's discussions on 9 June with Li Peng were considerably hampered by the low level of competence displayed by the Chinese interpreter. I wonder whether, in future, it might be possibl to provide an interpreter from our own side for discussions with senio foreign visitors, rather than simply relying on interpreters brought by the visitors themselves.
Yous ever,
G S DART
Principal Private Secretary

discussions. I enclose a
of the earlier meeting.
