HKGO LONDON FOR MARINE ADVISER
YOUR TELNO 766 AND HONG KONG TELNO 1704: HONG KONG PERMANENT
REPRESENTATIVE ΤΟ ΙΜΟ
1.
WE SHARE HONG KONG'S WISH IN THEIR TUR TO PROCEED WITH
THE ACCREDITATION OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVE TO IMO. DURING
THOMSON'S CALL ON 23 FEBRUARY WANG JIAJI SAID THE CHINESE HAD NO
OBJECTION TO OUR PROPOSAL (YOUR TELNO 284), AND THE CHINESE HAVE
NOT (NOT) REVERTED ON THE IMO CREDENTIALS QUESTION SINCE PIGOTT'S
CALL ON LIN ON 1 APRIL (YOUR TELNO 549). HOWEVER WANG WEIYANG'S
MORE GENERAL QUERY ABOUT HKG ACCREDITATION TO INTERNATIONAL
ORGANISATIONS IS A COMPLICATING FACTOR.
2.
GRATEFUL THEREFORE IF SUBJECT TO ANY FURTHER VIEWS FROM
HONG KONG YOU WOULD REVERT TO THE CHINESE ON THE LINES THAT WE
NOTE THAT THE CHINESE SIDE SEE NO
OBJECTION TO OUR IMO PROPOSALS (WANG/THOMSON ON 23 FEBRUARY):
WE THEREFORE PLAN NOW TO PROCEED WITH IMO ACCREDITATION: AND
WE BELIEVE THE WIDER ISSUE OF CREDENTIALS FOR HKG
REPRESENTATIVES TO OTHER ORGANISATIONS MIGHT BEST BE FURTHER
DISCUSSED BETWEEN EXPERTS IN THE IRO SUBGROUP.
