There was also a brief discussion of developments in the Soviet Union of no great moment. Mr. Kaifu did not raise the subject of the Northern Territories. Otherwise, conversation over dinner was cheerful but general and inconsequential.

I am copying this letter to John Gieve (H M Treasury), Neil Thornton (Department of Trade and Industry), Brian Hawtin (Ministry of Defence) and Trevor Woolley (Cabinet Office).
