KONG: TALKS WITH VIETNAMESE
1. WE CONSIDERED IN FIRST TUR ASKING PEKING TO BRIEF THE CHINESE. INSTRUCTIONS ON THIS WERE ISSUED IN SECOND TUR, FOLLOWING YOUR AGREEMENT IN THIRD TUR. WE AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR PEKING TO REFER TO COAST HOPPING ON THE LINES YOU SUGGEST. TO DO THIS PEKING WILL NEED THE LATEST INFORMATION ON ARRIVALS: WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD TELEGRAPH THIS TO PEKING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PARA 3 OF SECOND TUR COVERS THE QUESTION OF A VIETNAMESE
VISIT TO HONG KONG.
2.
PARA 2 OF FOURTH TUR: IF EXCO CONCLUDE THAT A VIETNAMESE VISIT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE UNDER UNHCR AUSPICES, WOULD YOU WANT UKMIS GENEVA TO APPROACH UNHCR OR WOULD YOU ENVISAGE DOING THAT
LOCALLY IN HONG KONG?
