YOUR TELNO 169: POSSIBLE VISIT TO HONG KONG BY STATE COUNCILLOR GU MU

I AGREE THAT THERE COULD BE SOME ADVANTAGE IN ENCOURAGING GU MU TO STOP IN HONG KONG FOR A SHORT VISIT ON HIS RETURN FROM NEW ZEALAND EVEN THOUGH HE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A BIT OVER THE HILL.

2. AS YOU KNOW, I SHALL MYSELF BE AWAY FROM HONG KONG FOR THE WHOLE OF THE WEEK BEGINNING 30 NOVEMBER, BUT DAVID FORD WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE HIM AND WE COULD ARRANGE WHATEVER OTHER CALLS OR VISITS THE CHINESE WOULD LIKE.

3. I WOULD BE GRATEFUL THEREFORE IF YOU WOULD CONVEY AN INVITATION TO GU MU BEFORE HE LEAVES PEKING. IF HE ACCEPTS, IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO ARRANGE DETAILS LOCALLY IN HONG KONG THROUGH THE NCNA, BUT WE WOULD WELCOME YOUR ADVICE ON THIS.
