POSSIBLE VISIT TO LONDON
AS YOU KNOW, I HAVE KEPT THE WEEK BEGINNING 20 NOVEMBER BLOCKED OFF IN MY DIARY FOR A POSSIBLE VISIT TO PEKING.
2.
THE PROSPECT OF HAVING A CLEAR STRATEGY WORKED OUT WITHIN THE TIMESCALE NECESSARY TO PROPOSE A VISIT AT THAT TIME NOW SEEMS TO BE RECEDING. WITH A NEW FOREIGN SECRETARY INSTALLED WHO WILL PRESUMABLY WISH TO BRIEF HIMSELF AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ON THE HONG KONG SITUATION, I WONDER IF IT MIGHT NOT BE SENSIBLE TO USE THE THIRD WEEK OF NOVEMBER FOR A QUICK VISIT TO LONDON.
