Mr McLaren

VISIT OF SECRETARY OF STATE TO HONG KONG 2-4 JULY 1989

Problem

A

1. The Hong Kong Government wish to substitute a meeting with the Chairmen of the 19 District Boards for the briefing by officials on

major development plans.

Recommendation

2. I recommend that the Secretary of State agrees.

Background

3. The argument in Hong Kong telno 2077 are cogent ones. We would

attach a higher priority to meeting District Board Chairmen. But

the meeting is likely to be a tough one : the Chairmen are likely to give vent to their feelings on Vietnamese boat people and

nationality.

A revised programme is attached.

B

4.
