LORD GLENARTHUR'S VISIT TO CHINA: TALKS WITH ZHOU NAN: VISIT OF TRH
THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES TO CHINA
1.
DURING TALKS AT THE MFA ON 23 JUNE LORD GLENARTHUR BRIEFLY ASSURED VICE MINISTER ZHOU NAN THAT WORK WAS IN HAND ON THE DATES FOR THIS VISIT IN 1989, AND THAT WE HOPED TO BE ABLE TO APPROACH THE CHINESE SIDE WITH A PROPOSAL SOON. ZHOU NAN SAID THE CHINESE
GOVERNMENT ATTACHED GREAT IMPORTANCE TO TRH'S VISIT AND WOULD RECEIVE THEM WARMLY. HE HOPED THEY COULD STAY A REASONABLE TIME IN CHINA - THE LONGER THE BETTER, AND IF THEY CAME FOR EIGHT DAYS LIKE LORD GLENARTHUR HIMSELF THAT WOULD BE FINE. BUT THIS MUST OF COURSE DEPEND ON TRH'S WISHES, WHICH CHINA WOULD RESPECT.
