PRIKE KIVISTER (CONT):
And the Agreement that we have made with China will most
likely be carried through exactly as we made it which is what we are
concerned about.
INTERVIEVER:
It is not what local people might want?
PRIAK MINISTER;
I think local people in Hong Kong are a little bit fearful of
course, would we not be if we lived there? But the Agreement that
we made which will give 50 years of a similar system as to what Hong
Kong has now, a capitalist system, a free system under a rule of
law, continues for 50 years after the land has reverted to China.
I believe that that would be upheld provided Hong Kong
remins prosperous and continues the kind of system that she has now
and gradually going to more democracy which she wants and so do we.
IFTERVIEVER:
Bational experts are already working on the final draft of
the Paris Summit and this draft includes some French proposals
referring to new rights for countries, like the right to economic
development or the right to a better environment.
According to the
French press, the British, that is you, do not agree with that
draft. Why?
No comments yet.
