projects vital to Hong Kong's future.
Grateful for Japanese Government's briefing of Chinese on
Japan's interest in the projects. Clearly important to
bring Chinese on side. Mr Maude will take up with the
Chinese on his visit in late July.
Pleased that the Anglo/Japanese consortium appears to be well placed for success in winning a major part of the
contract for the fixed link. HMG is giving full support to
consortium.
Strong pre-emptive bid looks to be very desirable and in
this context early and firm commitments to the consortium
are important, even if HKG decides to go for a competition. fexeapo

Very much hope this example of Anglo/Japanese cooperation
will be a success.

Pleased to note that consultations on a separated Hong Kong/Japan Air Services Agreement have resumed.
- Trust that confirmation from the Chinese Government of their continuing support for the separation process, passed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 5 June, will ensure
that a further round of talks can be held in the near
future.

(If raised) Delighted that agreement was reached at the last round of inter-governmental talks in May.
